Topic: sagging issue on passenger side

[kauai_fab]

got a marlin 5 inch sas kit and noticed a lean on the passenger side and the manual said to weld the plate on the driver side spring perch but i didnt and the driver side is still higher why?

[jmac]

so the front passenger is sagging and this is making the rear driver side look high?

is this correct?

[kauai_fab [OP]]

i dunno didnt really check out the back much cant tell, really.. but the front you can especially on the road or on flat pavement

[jmac]

I'm just trying to make sure it's your passenger that is sagging, because it appears the opposite from the rear because all the weights in the front.

So if you are looking at the truck from the front the passenger side is lower?  Another words distance from fender well to ground is less on passenger front than driver front??

[jmac]

Sorry not opposite, but what i'm trying to say is it might appear that problem is in the rear when it is really in the front.

Do you know what i mean??

[kauai_fab [OP]]

yea i know what you mean like a seesaw

[jmac]

Are these the instructions your following?  It does not specify driver side as the one that would be low; it just says use the pad to level out.

Have driven around on these yet?  I've heard they always settle after some break in time.  You might wanna wait a bit before you start welding.  Are you sure the springs and shackles are the same on each side, you might have gotten one 4" and another 5" by accident?

 

[OOPS]

You put the pad/spacer on the DS. That spring perch is lower then the PS. Toyota made up for it by having different arch in the springs. Until Marlin, All-Pro and others came along with aftermarket springs, the ones that were out there were arched different also.

Every set of springs I Have put in my mini truck has sagged on the passenger side.

Swap the springs side to side. I bet it levels out.

yo i didnt even put the pad spacer on neither side and if it calls for it to be on the driver side why is the passenger side saggin i dont know what put the pad on the passenger side or swap the springs?

[kauai_fab [OP]]

and the two springs are marked with white FRONT35 whats that mean?

[kneedownnate]

Seems like you kinda answered your own question, just put the pad on the side which sits lower
