They sound like two different makes to me. They sound like two
different makes to me. A set of springs from one manufacturer
will be impossible to tell the difference apart from the number

Sorry,I don't have the facilities to put photos up.
I guess different makes is the answer. When they were fitted
they gave a corner up effect.
I wonder if putting them on the opposite sides might even things
up!?

That spring reversal has worked for me in the past, another
dodge was to fit a longer spring hanger on the low side, however
no substitute for correct ones :smilewide:

And me, I fitted new springs all round and then the vehicle
started leaning. I remedied this by moving a rear spring hanger
to a position that allowed the vehicle to sit level. Looks far
better straight..

Thanks for all the help chaps. I have now tracked the makes and
position of the springs.
They are currently pickling in 10w CAT gear oil prior to fitting
at the chassis swap. dogwalk
