The two new ones are the same length each. Comparing to the old mono springs is challenging since the old ones are nearly flat and the new ones have a definite bow to them.
Are you doing one side at a time and putting the tire on and putting the weight of the truck on the spring? Meaning that the left side has the weight of the truck and the right side is hanging? That would make a difference at the shackles.
That is correct, the drivers side is still on its tire, i have a jack stand under the frame on the passenger side and a bottle jack under that side of the axle. I can let the jack down or put it up to get the spring closer to the axle, but its still off from centering by several inches. Another friend suggested putting the tire back on, removing the jack stand under the frame and letting that side take more weight before securing the u-bolts.
