I replaced my old 7.25 for an 8.75 and ESPO leaf springs at the same time. The ride is a bit stiff, but it's much more stable back there. The height is uneven, one side is a bit higher than the other, about 3/4 inch. ESPO says they take great measures to make sure their springs are matched. Anybody have this issue? Best way to even it out? Do I put a heavy weight in the trunk on the higher side for awhile or what? thanks all, Brian |

Maybe when you set in the car it is even?  Which side is higher?

Did you tighten the bushing bolts when the car was jacked up? |

I didn't install the springs, but do you mean to suggest the bushing bolts are too tight, I don't think that's the issue. |

You tighten rubber bushings when the vehicle is on the ground. Otherwise they act like a torsion bar (raising the vehicle a little) until they rip apart internally. |
