sad sad spring question

[agent orange]

Well, i once agian have astounded myself by my brilliance. Ive developed a nice pronounced lean to the drivers side since my last wheeling expedition. Its really only noticable up front, and the drivers side front fender is like an inch or more lower than the passenger side. Im running a JTO 3 inch lift, and i just called and talked to the people there and he said to check that i have the rears installed right because they have had people with a leaning problem that stemmed from having the rears on the wrong side. So, i go out to the truck and lo and behold, i switched the passenger and drivers spings mad:). So heres the deal, i realize that im gonna have to go home again this friggin weekend to work on my truck again as i need to swtich the springs, but would that cause such a pronounced lean up front? And if it did, if i switched the rears around would it help any? I doesnt seem to me like it would make much of a difference, the rear seems to be sitting level, and at rest i cant see it making that much of a difference. If i in fact need a new spring up front like im pretty sure i am, will they give me s*** about it since i messed up the rears? Do they even need to know ?

Isn't your suspension fairly new? You may just be breaking in one side faster than the others. I know on my rig I usually end up stuffing the DS front tire and thus my DS front and PS rear springs are more worns than the others. I'd double check that your springs are not inverting before they hit your bump stops at full flex.

My suspension has no more than 2500 miles on it. I figured that the lean had something to do with this....

One good wheeling session shouldnt make my spring this sagged out though, i can barely fit my fist between the tire and the outermost edge of the fender (even with the trimming) on the drivers side, and there is like a foot of space on the other side. My big question is will JTO have reason to not send me a new spring because i installed the rears backwards?

Well the answer is they wont, he wanted me to send pics in of what ive got goin on and i at least want to have them installed right and take care of what their rep said might be the problem before i call again, the guy i talked to was really good about it and i wanted to be able to say yes everything is installed as per spec. I dont really think that more crossweight towards the front drivers side would cause it to sag though.
