Default front spring perch

Can you guys tell me if the spring perch's on the front are supposed to be the same on both sides or if the drivers side us supposed to be different than the passenger? Its on a95 f150 4wd leveling coils springs. The alignment has been off for awhile and have put a camber on the drivers side but still off. I have looked all over the internet and can't seem to find anything in the front spring perches

I believe their the same, maybe you have a bent frame or a weak bushings?

There is no way you can possibly have the same perch on both sides. They are mirror opposite.

I know they have to be mirror opposites but the drivers side is half an inch shorter then the passenger and the passenger looks right but the drivers looks like its binding up the coil spring a little but since I can't find them I can't find out if its something other than the perch

old thread resurrection!

I have the same problem. 1 perch is 1/2" longer than the other. I don't remember which one was on which side.

I found a pre-disassembly photo. The shorter one goes on the driver's side on my 96 300.
