Hello everyone so like the tittle states I recently just lowered the front end with 2” coils and 3” spindles but the left front is 1/2 inch lower then the right and tire scrapes inner wheel well when turning. Only difference ive noticed is that the sway bar bushing on the left front lower control arm is missing. Can that lower it more then the other side? Im lost right now any input greatly appreciated btw its a 84 c10 swb

Bushing shouldn't make a difference, with that being said anything is possible. I would start by making sure the coils are totally seated in the bucket on the high side. Next in would make sure my shocks are not binding up at any point. Then from there I would measure the difference in my distance from lower control arm to bump stop mounting point (assuming you have removed the stops). It is totally possible that someone somewhere sent you two different spring rates which would make the difference possible. Hope this helps man

Did the truck sit level before you put the springs in?

Wouldn’t surprise me if the truck was already 1/2 lower, I believe I trimmed my springs to get it where I liked it, and if I remember correctly one side I cut more off of
