1997 xlt short box. the bed sits 2 to 2.5 inches lower on drivers side. cant figure it out. everything looks the same when i look at the passangerside. seems more in the rear of the bed/ over tire area. any ideas. email me aginntonic75@hotmail.coom

 

Yours will be very similar to this:

 

thanks for the info but it is the same spring and tire pressue. ( tried that) i am thinking it is the shims. the difference is about 2 inches. can the shims throw it off that much?!?

 

Not if the shims are identical side-to-side. Measure your springs. Did you read the whole caption of that diagram? Scroll down.
