Default Passenger side sits lower than driver. Help!
What do I need to do to correct this problem. My 89 GT sits lower on the passenger side. I replaced the rear upper and lower control arms (Lakewood) w/urethane bushings. Replaced rear shocks (Koni adjustable and FR springs (C) but only the rear for now. We didn't remove the quads...should we?Little disappointed in ride height. I need all the help I can get. Should I try another brand lowering springs?[&:]

you replaced the control arms, right?
did you notice the spring insulators all beaten up, or were they ok?

My left sits lower than the right. I just installed new isolator bushings and shocks. I hope she levels out when I get back on the ground.
