I just wrapped up a new suspension setup. I have an alignment scheduled for 8am tomorrow.

With car finally back on its own weight it sits crooked. 26" on driver side and 24.5" on passenger as measured to the fender lip.

I want it to be correct or reschedule. Need opinions here.

I am considering cutting some of the driver side coil to match passenger side. This appeals to me more than adding a spacer to passenger side.

What should I do?

make sure the springs are sitting correctly in there pockets, the springs need to line up with the indentations in the lower arms, or upper frame pocket

Yes I know.

I have UMI arms that have the offset (lack of a better word) in lower cup that indexes the spring. I will double check and make sure upper is not crooked in pocket though
