Anyone give me a bit more knowledge on what is going on here, just threw some SSSL’s in see how they sit and right is tucking tyre left is barely there. Jacked it up and repositioned the springs and before it fully settled the left was still sitting 1.5 inches higher. Brand new king springs (from a stato, so could be a place to start from)

Pull the springs out and swap side to side. Either the problem moves or it doesn't. If the problem moves it's the springs, if it doesn't something is bent.

There should be a rubber insulator on the end of the spring, make sure all of those are located correctly and not missing.

Ah that could be something to look into then, they got mangled pulling the stock springs out, also what could possibly be bent to cause this I did have a brief look for anything that seemed damaged but wasn’t too sure what to look at for that

There are different thickness insulators.
Usually the drivers side has a thicker coil spring insulator than the passenger side.
