2005 2wd standard cab coil spring issue

Well I suck,

I probably put them in wrong when I rebuilt the suspension last year.
My passanger side was ride high was about an inch or so higher. I just took it apart and put it back together again and now it is just 1/4 off from the driver's side so there is at least some improvement.
The truck has 100k on it. I had in Chicago for the first 5 years of its life and now in the hot desert of Phoenix.
I wonder if I should just change them out as taking them apart and back together again is a pita.
It seems to be a bit of a challange sourcing those springs as they are not available on RockAuto.

Any ideas?

I know I should stop fixing it as it was not broken to begin with that's not going to stop anytime soon.


Thanks,


Bob

The driver side sits lower on Rangers.

The battery, gas tank and the driver are all on the same side of truck.

You either need a really big dog or really big girlfriend to sit in the passenger seat to make up for the battery and gas tank.

Thank you for the reply,

So the truck issue may be resolved then. That is good to hear.

I still want to take it all apart and put new parts in it but since I can't source them I am going call it good.


Thanks again,


BOB
