dvboth Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 pass side from rear view drivers side gap pass side gap tire profiles don't look the same? even though they may be the same size the sidewall profiles can be different! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The single main leaf is likely warped out of shape or twisted. Swap the 620 springs in there. This will raise the ride height though. You could maybe remove one of the lower leaves without seriously hurting the ride. This will limit the load you can carry but I doubt this is a problem for you. tire profiles don't look the same? even though they may be the same size the sidewall profiles can be different! Maybe. Different rims could also cause this. Swap sides and see if there is a change. Quote Link to comment
rockstar 620 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 so the kid went to sleep early and it gimme time to go out there n see what was going on.. i removed the u bolts n took the blocks out, everything seems to had been installed properly.. i noticed that the leaf springs have some play like from side to side which tells me maybe the bushings are gone?? can the bushings being gone be causing this problem??

datzenmike Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Take a good look at the top of the spring where the block sits on it. There should be a nub that fits a hole in the bottom of the block. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Measure from the pin on the top of the spring forward to the center of the front mount (with the rubber bushings) on both springs. Should be the same length. But you say the pass side is moved forward, right? You have a picture of the pass side , like this?? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah I know what you mean and no it shouldn't matter. The axle and spring are aligned by the bolt 'nub' that holds the spring pack together fitting into the spring perch that is welded onto the axle tube. Quote Link to comment
