It sits unlevel so I think I need to replace the springs. What's the best replacement coil spring to get the best ride on a stock height truck? No racing or hauling, just driving. Thanks.
So my first question is, Is it the front springs, or the rear springs? Park on level ground and then jack the front up until the tires are off the ground. Put jack stands under the front frame at even heights, so that the frame is level side-to-side on the stands. (isolating the rear). then check the rear spring heights. Then reverse the process and check the front spring heights.
