I tried searching, but not sure if search function is overtaxed and returning no records found no matter what I tried.

I installed a 2 inch Ironman coils and shocks. The day of the install, the truck sat 2 inches higher all around, from 35 to 37 inches ground to bottom of arches. Now a few weeks later, it looked a little cockeyed, so I measures and found that I have rears at 37.25 and 37.75 (1/2 inch difference), and fronts are 36.375 and 36.75 inches.

I doubled checked coil install and do have the N/S marked one on the passenger side as Ironman requires. And the D/S on the driver side. Is this much difference okay? Basically 1/2" left to right. Thanks
 
I thought so too, but reading the instructions it says not to do that, that the driver side is marked for the driver side no matter what side it's on. Reaching out to them to verify the website instructions are correct.
 
D/S goes on the passenger side. The N/S is the taller spring and should go on LHD (USA) vehicle's driver side. When in doubt, the taller springs go on the drivers side (USA).
 
craaaaaaap, I got to get into that reassembly again. Going to Endys Imports tomorrow to press in the caster correction bushings and install new power steering pump and vsv, will see if they can add spring swap while the beast is up in the air.
 
I can confirm the above statements...the D/S goes on the passenger side. I have Ironman springs.
 
My Ironman springs have been installed on both sides front and rear. Regardless, my 1992 80 is an inch lower on the driver's side front and rear.
 
Cruiser lean... Use trim packers
 
Or body mount bushings. I just helped my son change his out on the 92 and all were bad especially the one foward of the catalytic converters.
 
Resurrecting this post:
So what was the verdict? I may have made the mistake of following the misleading and confusing labels on the springs... I have 10mm difference driver to passenger...
 
I have iron man springs and put the taller springs on the driver side. Never even looked at the labels.
Wished I wouldn’t have trusted them. I will swap or trim, but need to know if I should definitely plan to swap.
 
I just made the exact mistake. Swapping made a huge difference. DS on pass side. However im like 1.5 inches taller in the rear than front. Spacers to fix that though.

Did the 1.5 inch difference front to back come before or after you swapped? Currently I only have a 15mm difference. Planning to add two 10mm trim packers to fronts when I swap.
