I have a 2012 Ram Sport CCSB and I've had the 963sp kit on for about a year now.

There's a ride height difference in the rear between the passenger and driver side. Looks to be almost an inch difference which is really bugging me. At first I thought well maybe it needs to settle but that hasn't happened so it time to do something.

When looking at the gap between the rear bump stops and the axle, sure enough, I have about a half inch of gap on the driver side and almost an inch and a half on the passenger side. The same can be seen between the top of the tire and the top of the wheel well

Are the bell tech coil springs driver and passenger side specific? I know the coils control ride height and I can't think of anything else that would cause this

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I would pull the coils and switch them from driver side to passenger side. They are not side specific, but this will let you determine if it is in fact a difference in the coils. Many times, the coil is just not seated properly in the coil bucket which causes 1 side to be higher than the other.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was leaning towards trying this. Gonna give it a go

Realized I didn't really have that much of an issue. Rear end needed major adjusting. Track bar lock nuts were loose. Really made things look silly out back so I fixed that and it seemed to help it not look so off in the rear.

About to install qa1 front tomorrow, rear maybe this weekend. That will really help ride as well

Still want to go lower but need my adjustable arms out back first and shorter bump stops

Was curious about buying your cut coils but realized I needed qa1s first because I just blew out a t-bar on one of my belltech front shocks. Was planning to get them anyway just not so soon
