    Most springs are marked left and right. Or it may not be sitting in the spring seats correctly.

    I got told by a guy at king springs, that they are marked L/R cause the higher side goes on the drivers side, mine were only standard low though, so this may/may not apply to you..

    They won't make any difference to ride height.

    yes they are marked left and right because the driver side is supposed to sit a little higher (so it comes even when the driver gets in).....

    Depending on the brand, but most will have either RH or R and LH or L after the part number. Sometimes they have a D and P for Driver and Passenger.

    man, with standard shockers you could almost get the springs out without even removing the wheels.

    Yeah, with ultralows or whatever it is you have, you should be able to get them in and out without dropping the shocks.

    i always thought lh sits higher becaue of the road camber.
    does the car go down when you lean on it.
    Maybe the shocks have bottomed out.
    is the diff sitting on the rubber bumpers?
    Is a wheel touching to body and holding it up?
    are you gunna get the stuff to do it right and SAFE?
