Is it with someone sitting in the truck when you measure?

maybe one exhaust manifold is heavier,tires got same pressure?My box does this on mine.HEY you could always put a 2" drop spring on the one side.Kinda cheesy but it may work.

I've had one coil cut shorter than the other for four years and it doesn't bother me. I had a frame shop look at my truck and it's got a buckled frame. It could be fixed with "only" four or five hours of labor, but I'm a cheap skate. I'd rather find another sb frame, like that's gonna happen...

check and make sure your lower a arm is not bent, and check the rear end and make sure both spring packs or coils are the same hight.....
