    OK thanks for the help! I think first what I will do is try switching the springs and if that don't work I'll go back toy OME ones. So next question do you think if o had a 2" spacer up top instead of the SL one set the struts 2" lift and put the OME springs one with a coil cut I would be fine?

    You might limit down travel by doing that. I think 3" spacers were the limit that trialbyfire (?) measured.

    So I spent my day off messing around with the front and rear trying to get it level! Switched everything on the passenger side to the drivers side and still no change! Its still sitting lower on the drivers side. About 1" difference all the way around! Any ideas?

    Yes I did! When I pulled on level ground everything was leaning to the drivers side! So I switched everything! I did call JBA and asked if their rear springs where side specific and they are not! They went through a list of things it could be and they said I might of bent something!

    Yeah if you swapped all the springs from passenger to driver and didn't see a change in the lean, something else is going on.

    Those LCAs you installed are both the same exact length, right?

    Measure your wheel base, hub to hub, on both sides..

    I remember you saying you used straps to hold the axle in place..... im sure the axle shifted some. And if you weren't on level ground and didnt compare the arms to make sure they're the same exact length you may be losing some height if the drivers side is pushed back a bit more.
