Re: '72 c10 front suspension question

Disconnected shock. No change in suspension travel. I have floor jack supporting lower spring cup up off jack stand and I tried to compress suspension with my bodyweight on the fender. Stiff as a board. No travel at all. Drivers side has about 1or 2 inches of travel. So I'm thinking I either have A. Wrong springs for my setup. B. Mismatched set of springs with the passenger side being possibly HD or for 3/4 ton truck. I'm gonna buy a brand new set of coil springs that fit my setup and hopefully that will fix the issue. I'm still open to the idea of a bad tire. Because I do have one with a dip in the outer side wall. I will take the truck in to where i bought them and have them inspected and rebalanced in the meantime. Thanks for all the help and info. I really appreciate this website. Glad to be a part of it.
