Default Front sag, even with new springs, what next

visually, I can see that the driver's side is low even after new, front, heavy duty leaf springs.
camber is even albeit reverse of what it should be- I will fix that after lunch.

measuring from the floor to the molding just above the front wheel, it is about
1 1/4" lower than the right side.

it has a 6" inch lift kit
just bought the cart a couple of weeks ago, no mechanical history to work with


back measurement from floor to body panel is about 1/2" low again on driver's side.

I am guessing that something in the front is the issue and fixing it will fix the rear.

Ideas please

Measure from floor to frame. Measuring to bodypanels is only for aesthetics and alignment of body panels.
Once you have that measurement, flip the front springs (left side to right), and measure again. That should let you know what's wrong.

hey mutley,

thank you for responding.

I did crawl under and measured the frame edge and it is 3/4" low on driver's side.
old, front springs discarded, brand new springs just installed with same result.
hard to believe that swapping new ones would help at this point.

am i wrong?

If they are new springs, then disconnect the shocks (all 4), take it for a drive up and down the driveway and measure again. It could be the shocks binding or limiting travel.
It could be bad springs, (one side weaker than the other), but at this point you should check the shocks first. Still might have to flip springs, but maybe post up some pics before doing that.
