Passenger Side Sits Higher Than Driver?

[watersupply189]

I removed both springs and replaced the top shock absorber with a new OEM part and observed the driver side spring(20 3/8") is approximately 1/4" shorter than the passenger side one(20 5/8") when removed sitting on the driveway.

Additionally, they both have this part number on it:
0317 56180-1

So I linked that part back to this spring:

Any new ideas based on the above information?

They are definitely two different sizes for sure.

Even though both springs say the same part number?

Is it me or maybe it’s the angle of the picture but one spring looks thicker than the other?

I think it MIGHT be the distance the pic was taken. I made sure to measure from the top edge of the spring straight down to the bottom, but I'm sure I didn't hold the camera the same distance for the measurement pic

Have you measured where the spring sits from bottom to the top on both sides to see if they are the same?

You can see the difference where the absorber meets the top frame.

Looks like that maybe a quality control issue from when the truck was being built? Did you buy this truck new or used? If used was it ever involved in a wreck that you know of? Only thing I can think of is swapping the springs to see if that helps since the one is definitely compressed more than the other.

I bought it used from a dealer, no wrecks reported on carfax

I think at this point I would be looking for a pair of new springs or try a spacer on the low side. Just my two cents.

Agree! ^^^ didn’t think of adding a spacer to the low side.
