Do those springs look normal ?? Look really compressed but they are eibach lowering springs I’ve been working crazy hours so I haven’t really been able to look but my buddy asked me to take a few pictures for him
They are called progressive rate springs.

So for anybody that was wondering it was a bad rear shock That caused the truck to lean to one side The rear driver side Bilstein was blown out and frozen replaced all 4 with new ones tho as they had 50k on them
