Truck sits funny..
I have a 2004 Silverado rcsb with a 2/4 lowering kit on it. I originally put a ground force 2/4 with coil springs in the front and leafs in the back. Once the truck was lowered I noticed (not right away) that the truck sat cocksided. The passenger side tires had more gap between the fenders than the driver side tire's, so it looked like the driver's side of the truck sits a little lower than the passenger side. I wasn't satisfied with the coil springs because gm couldn't aligned my front end due to the geometry change in the front so I put the stock coil springs back on and replaced the spindles with beltech 2" drop spindles. After I installed the 2" drop spindles the front sat higher than it previously did with 2" drop coil springs...??? I'm now about to order beltech 4" shakles and hangers drop to put my stock leafs back in because the ride is so rough (the stock leafs have much more arc so I assume that the ride quality would be better). When I first got my groud force leafs they looked almost straight with no arc hardly.. and now that there on my truck for about a year I looked at them and they looked as if they're bent. My truck bottoms out on almost every bump I hit and it is really annoying! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Well i installed a similar kit on my truck. Hotchkis 2" drop springs front, and 4 inch drop leafs in the back. I got my front end aligned easily at NTB great tire wear and no other issues. As for the rear yes my rode hard as crap with the hotchkis rear leafs. The truck will tend to lean a lil to the driver side cuz of the gas tank being so heavy there is about 150 pounds of extra weight over there when the tank is full. I pulled my hotchkis leafs off and installed a Bel-tech front bucket, rear shackle lowering kit and it rides so much better but does not handle nearly as good. I think the rear end walks around some. Hope that helps...

You have a case of the dreaded chevy lean I am afraid. Go over to FSC.com and do a search you will find plenty of info on the problem and how to fix it.
