hi all, i just had my ute leaf prings reset, had them dropped 3". once i got them home i put them side by side and one is slightly higher than the other, about 7mm.

Now is that something to be concerned about, will it make a noticable difference in the ride height. i was thinking of putting the higher one on the drivers side as there will always be more weight on that side.

or should i get them fixed back at the shop?

thanks

it'll make small difference in height, i'd just put the higher set in the drivers side like you said
if your real fussy take them back

I agree with Ange, even ring the place that done them and ask they may say for that reason it's like that on the drivers side :)

Yeah that's what I was thinking. When you push down on them the higher one does seem alittle stiffer. I'll give them a call and see what they say but I think putting it on the drivers side would be the go.

Thanks

They are different heights to compensate for drivers weight

Where did you have them reset?
I'd want one to sit a little higher in order to compensate for my fat ass!! Haha

I rang the spring shop and that's exactly what it is. It's for the drivers side. I got them done at advantage suspension in moorabin. $220 for the pair.
