I dont remember exactly how much but I thing it was about a half coil on the drivers side . when I had the truck completely apart I measured things and did notice anything odd which may not mean much . The front suspension was completely rebuilt . All new poly bushings and ball joints . In the end whether it fixes it or not I would just rather have the spring rates like there suppose to be . Also the front spring are new as well . Just one of them cut .

As bosshogg suggested to get the thrust allignment checked . I have a good friend at a chevy dealership that I can work with on that .

If all fails I will get it up on a frame machine and check things out as well .
