Well after other projects taking my time, my front end is completely back together with king pins, bushings, shackle kits, brakes, bearings and tie rod ends cleaning and paint. One knuckle had a crack developed at the axle joint and a shoutout to Jim Carter for a used one!! My issue is after going through the front springs and seeing they were slightly mismatched in appearance, now installed I noticed the drivers side is about 1 1/4” higher from frame to axle than passenger. That multiplies further out… I completely took the packs apart, cleaned and painted so I know there isn’t a broken one. Same number and lengths (I left the 4 mini end springs off) it’s just the end curls that was the mismatch. So one is weaker than the other. Can I cheat and pull a leaf out of the high side or just give in to purchasing a new matched set. If so which of the 8 comes out?
