I recently replaced all 4 control arms and anything else that was loose and put on new tires then took it in for alignment. The alignment guy told me my front and rear left side are 1/4 inch in lower... If you measure to the same points on the body the left is around a half inch higher.
My print out ended up being pretty close to what I wanted except the left caster is only 3.2 and I wanted 4.5 we did get 4.4 on the right side.
So I am thinking new springs in the front both sides maybe I can find a longer spring and something a few pounds heavier too. I would like to lift the front an inch higher and get them the same on both sides of course too.
The rear had both springs replaced when I did the lift kit a couple years ago. I can't imagine why one side would be that much lower from the springs. So maybe it is something else. I guess I will need to remove both springs and measure them to see if that is the problem.
I was also looking at the bump stops on the rear the metal piece is about 4 inches I wonder if I can reduce that and pick up some extra travel? The rubber bumper is around 3 inches long I wonder if I can get away with cutting it in half?
Part of my goal is to get more suspension travel for my off road adventures and to get things leveled side to side....
