D1 Suspension questions
Just a few questions I couldn't find an answer to:
First, any ideas why my passenger rear end sags 3/4 inch lower than the rest of the truck? I tried swapping the springs from each side but its still present. It also did this with the stock springs before the TF install. Axle height is even, its the height between axle and frame that's off. Would a twisted frame cause it?
Second, any additional suggestions for solving this gap between spring and mount? It's only on the rearward surface, and I believe it's causing my "pop" noise when accelerating and breaking. I know the gap is tiny, but I speculate the spring is doing more shifting than normal. (Btw, this "pop" didn't start till after an off road weekend)
My plan for the spring is D2 isolators. Any additional suggestions are appreciated and welcomed!
I'll add my third question tomorrow when I take a picture of it because its hard to explain.

Um, anybody mentioned body mount yet? I would think if your swapping springs like a madman and it's stay'n the same then you'd have a body mount that's gone south (sorry South). Check the "C" pillar mounts, they like to crumble and check the two directly under the cargo door floor brace....great spot to punch through.

Turns out this was my popping problem. That and loose bolts. Replaced front axle mount bushings and tightened all the bolts on rear wishbone. No more popping.
