Going in wed to switch the springs.

Sent from my Droid HTC Rezound.

Swapping springs will not do anything....many members here such as Jake, Black (Candy08) have a 'dodge lean'.
its common, but more noticable on lifted trucks...heck, I noticed it more when I added the body lift.

I still have to remove the 1" and install the other length in.

Ahahahaha!
You too also have the dodge lean.
As jake mentioned, we all got it!
I got it too and I am 1/2" lower on the driver side.
I compensated by running a different coil spacer on the driver vs the passenger.

If you are interested....I got one of each still available.

PM'd

I might just get one of the spacers and call it the day then.

So far everything is good to go on just swapping the springs. Took the truck out Sat to do some coyote hunting and had it off road and got it a little muddy and measured everything today and still good so far.. Took some pictures of the truck while I had a little bit of mid on the tires! lol

I didn't read the entire thread, but to the OP have you tried measuring when you have an empty tank? (; 26 gallons is a good 250+ pounds... I have seen plenty of posts on lots of forums to say the left rear or the entire left side sits lower, and I see the same thing. When my truck has a full/half or hell even a quarter tank (; My left side after my 2 inch rear drop level sits a half inch almost lower when I had a half tank in it :p After it is empty it sits pretty much even :)

Yep, Everyone that knows me knows I have a pretty good case of OCD!!! I measured it pretty much empty all the areas between to full!!! So far after switching the springs it's good to go... I think I have a measurement coming up today though! lol

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if your truck is still level? I just had a 6" RC lift put on my 2012 Ram 1500 and it sits about an inch lower on the drivers side than the passenger side. I already tried the spring swap but it didn't help. I guess I just need to get a spacer.
