Default Help me

Just finished install the Teraflex 3 inch lift with 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers. For some reason I am sitting 1" higher on the driver side front. I have checked everything a few times an I can't figure it out. This is my third lift install and have never run into this problem.

The springs are sitting in the correct locations, shocks are installed correctly.

Can you post pictures of both sides springs and sway bar links.? You may have a longer spring or stiffer spring then the other.You may have to take them both out measure them and if there different call mfg and have them send you the correct one.

Shouldn't have that much effect, but you don't have a full tank of gas by chance do you?

I want to say drivers side is a bigger spring. Hate to tell you to take them both out and measure them. Do a search i have seen others that had the same issue.

X3. Looks turned? Isn't there a lip or bracket the spring sits in/on?
