Coil height after accident...

[DR3W]

Hey guys. My truck was in a accident Thanksgiving 2010. Hit a boulder after it rolled down from a hill. Bent frame and blew out both passenger side wheels/tires and stuff but thats all fixed now.

But i've recently noticed the rear side of the truck hangs a lil low (about an inch ot two). I did a lil measuring and i think the passenger side coil spring is smaller now. The accident fully compressed the suspension on the right side. Could that cause the coil to sag at all???

Thanks, any input would be great!


p.s. No air suspension!

it could happen but wow... never heard of a spring compressing but then again never hit a boulder either..... but try to measure springs on all 4 sides on level ground then jack up the rear... use trailer hitch and try to max out springs equally and remeasure to see if they are damaged...

Okay thanks, will do this weekend. Yeah the right front wheel broke the inner wheel wall and rear one just has gnarley tire marks. So yeah, and my mom was going around 50. The rock was a lil bigger than a basketball. aha

How much are new sets of coils (front and/or rear) & where could i find a good name brand?

you can find shocks pretty much any where with some searching.... ebay has stock used ones or you could do some searching for longer coils to get more lift...

i have a set ill sell you, they are out of monroe part number 90006, they are for a 4wd Navi or a 2wd expo (b/c of the height diff in a 2wd and a 4wd) I had them in my truck but it sat to low to be a 4x4 so i got some different ones and 3" spacers lol
