Default cc844s issue...

So I put mine in last week... I even bought the CC844S, not just the CC844. And YES I'm sure I bought and received the correct part.

The problem is my truck was more level with the stock coil springs and a spacer. I lost height in the front when I installed the CC844s. I'm about an inch an 1/4 lower in the front than in the back....

What the hell?!?!?! What am I doing wrong?? I only have the straight six so its not like my front end is super heavy compared to what a 7.3 f250 would be.

Perhaps your truck is not stock ride height? Because those springs are more than enough to level our trucks

It should be stock, because I have never done any modifications to the suspension except the CC844S springs.

Does the truck have a lift block/springs in the back?

Nope. Bone stock. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow so y'all can see the difference.

cc844s are the lighter duty ones i think and they arent guaranteed to perfectly level your truck

Are you sure? For the past year everyone on here has been telling me they are the heavier duty ones.

from when i was looking CC844S are progressive rate and are a little softer the CC844 springs are standard springs and hold the weight better. everyone doing the 250 coil spring swap uses CC844.

you cant return the springs on there now? if not, you can probably sell them on Craigslist for next to what you payed.
