I have a 1991 Dakota 4x4. The rear drivers side of the truck sits 1/2" lower than the passenger side. When I put the truck on the hoist the rear driver's tire sits higher than the passenger side. I thought that helper springs would work. I put a helper spring on both sides. Passenger side just tight enough for it not to come loose. The driver's side I tightened to the max. The helper spring I used is suppose to increase load by 500lbs. After this, the driver's side still sat 1/2" lower. Is it possible the shock is limiting that side of the truck since the truck sits lower on that side but when lifted in the air the tire sits higher.
My next test is to remove the rear driver's side shock but I don't always have access to a hoist.
I have owned the truck since new. It has never been in an accident or went off roading to the point the frame is twisted. The truck sits on the hoist perfectly.
