leafspring with gabriel coilover shocks
ok so I have a 75 camaro new leafsprings and gabriel coilover shocks replaced all 4 . My rear drivers side sits 1 inch lower than the pass side I'm 1" off exactly from one side to the other pass side shock is stiff while drivers side seems to be weaker my question is if I install a 1" shock extender to the side thats lower would this correct the uneven stance I believe the shock mounts the way they are are 1" differance from each side would the coilover shocks with the new leafsprings be causing this

Spring installation can often affect ride height. New springs should have new bushings, and they need to be lubed with the proper silicone grease when installed. Then the car's weight should be on the springs before the bolts are tightened. If the springs were installed and all bolts tightened with the axle hanging, or not lubed, they will sit differently.

Sure you have, or at least I have. Here are the Gabriel "coilover" shocks, also reefered to as overload shocks...

well the street has a crown so you may still be uneven take it to a large concrete if possible parking lot and re measure. if still un even pull shocks to make sure it not a leafspring issue. i had two i dentical leaves when i replaced mine and they sat at completely different heights and had to have one exchanged
