If you are using a drop shackle they usually have two sets of holes, move the bolt to the less dropped wet of holes on the drivers side or find a really large girl friend

ive heard of alot of people having this problem... ive got hotchkis springs and drop shackles and mine sits perfect... i was having problems with wheel hop.. but the caltracs fixed that.. i actually have a 2/6 drop.... 2" hotchkis springs up front (they actually dropped it like 3" so i put 1" spring spacers up front to bring it back up).. 4" hotchkis springs in the back.. with 2" drop shackles as well... it sits pretty close to the frame and thats why it was wheel hopping.. but the caltracs solved all my problems.... and now its adjustable.....

o and the pic below is not how it sits now.. that was when the front was slammed... ive since lowered the back and raised the front...

It is easy enough to try it, if your non level condition is primarily caused by uneven front springs it might not be as effective but still worth a try. Measure all four of your fender lips from the ground before you start and drive it to let it settle before you measure after.

i have 3" springs in the front, 4" springs in the back with 2" shackles and aftermarket overload springs that raise it about 1". the back is still about an inch higher than the front but it sits level
