I’m not seeing any markings on them. I assume The “tags” where removed.

The Ironman markings are painted on, and it's a "D" and a "P". Someone who knows about Dobinsons will have to chime in on what to look for.

I see the prob remove the Toliet paper that should get ya some height back! I would think you would be level, I was set up with stripper pole same side 37, stock bumper and one arb box on pass side and set pretty level

Mine had tags like old man emu, but I bought those in 2017, maybe newer don’t , but that seems a little odd, mine were the teal color. Maybe dumb installer ripped them off not thinking and just installed?

lol that’s what I was thinking. That’s how it’s always loaded which i why I opted For the heavy springs. I would Think the fridge and the boxes should level it out.

Also if I am remembering right there is a spring pad believe called isolater pad that helps dampen the noise sits on top of the spring, maybe left it out, but it would not count for inch difference, but if your pulling springs mine as well check

Or concealing the fact that they didn't swap them and lied to you....

The irrefutable truth comes from measuring them uninstalled, but that's a lot of work.

Sorry, @ajax1 , I thought I was replying to @Cowmeat .

Same comment to you, @Cowmeat . The only reason to tear off those tags is to conceal the lie. There's no way your springs are not backwards.

Threads like this one have kept me from switching out springs on the ‘80. I have 2,5” measured lift, springs are used Js in the front, onknown/ probably OME in the rear, truck sits level, wouldn’t mind a softer ride, but there are too many threads about more lift than advertised, L/R issues like this one, or the like. And the solution is to cut windings off the spring, use spacers, or blaming me for picking a spring that’s only soft if the truck is overloaded. I’ll keep reading here, maybe at some point someone will post the unicorn lift that I’m looking for.

P.S. And no, I’m not buying a house with a taller garage door.

It seems that no one else I’ve talked to has had this issue with these coils.., these specific VT. Coils

The front springs can impact the lean on the rear. Have you measured the front for equal height? A higher right front will make the left rear lower. Swapping fronts could be the solution.
