also could point to check. If the spring is on backwards will cause issues.

Pull that side apart Caleb and see what it all looks like.

Springs should have markings to say front. If not take a tape measure and measure from the end of the leaf to the center pin. Do the same for the other end of the leaf spring to the center pin. Go to the other side of the truck do the same thing.


If the front of your leaf to the center pin is X inches and doesn't match the same inches from the front of the leaf to the center pin on the other side of the truck, shits on backwards.
