Suspension problem?
 
Yesterday I took off my stock shocks and put some 30wt in them. I made sure the air bubbles were out . Put them back on then noticed the front driver side was sagging. I then checked for binding and didn't see anything so I thought maybe it was the shock itself so I swapped it out with the passenger one and it still did the same thing in the driver side. So it's not the shock. The only way to get it to level out is with a lot of preload. Maybe it's because I have all my weight in the front. I have the battery located right behind the front shocks on sitting on the frame rails, metal front bumper and the CMS kit which is on the driver side. I haven't had a problem until now and I have been running the CMS for months. Any suggestions?

I will take some as soon as I get home. It basically leans on the driver side. Didn't have this problem until I put the new shock oil in it.

It has basically been stock shock oil until now

But even after putting the passenger side shock on the driver side it still done it so really don't understand what's going on

I think it has a lot to do with the shock oil in using . It didn't do this until I put 30wt in it. It's not the shock because I switched it out with another one and it still did this on the same side

Take some body off pics for us . Another thing was there any chance you are using a different spring or they got mixed up

No they are the stock Springs. The stock Springs are the same all the way around right ?

The oil won't have anything to do with ride height, that's all on your springs. Is your frame twisted? The body is sitting about level and the bumper is way off.

Yeah it's the frame. But before I put the springs on it was fine

Hmmm... Sounds to me that something went awry when you removed your shocks... Make sure everything went back into place the same as it was before.

I know... Sounds crazy, right? But previous experience tells me stranger things have happened...

I honestly thin it's my a frame rails that got twisted. I think my body is fine. Last week I messed with the back lower links and might have put it in a bind. When I get home I am going to look at it again to see if that's the problem
