driver side droop

[nitroxsteve]

I have read a few other posts about this but it doesn't seem like anyone has a solution to the problem. my truck leans to the driver side about .5-.75". Its an 88, 2wd,4.0,and 5speed. I am working on a 4wd conversion and have installed the front axle with new controll arm bushings, tierod ends, and track bar. It has a new 3" rusty's lift with rear AAL and new shocks. I had the same lean before all the work and was hoping the new front springs would fix it but no luck. I have had the front end alligned and have driven it for several months so the springs have setteled in. I think its the fuel tank dragging it down but didnt know what I could do about it. Has anyone found a soulution?

 

THANKS

i havent figured it out yet either but then again i havent really been trying anymore. i just live with it :dunno:

 

I'm about to swap in another dana 30 maybe itll level it out but i doubt it

 

let me know if you knock this one out :cheers:

some kits come with "harder" coils for the drivers side. Its because this is where most of the weight in your truck is. The fuel tank is on the drivers side and that is where you sit. My dad said that he has had to do the alignment on some peoples cars while they were in it because they were so "big" or fat that when they sat into the car it made it lean. I'm not sure there is any thing you can do about this other then get beefer coil springs.

Swap the rear leaf springs left to right. If that doesn't change anything, swap the coils left to right.

 

My bet is on the leaf springs.

Ive just kinda delt with it, i never really noticed it till i got to around 3.5" of lift. its about 1" lower on the Drivers side but nothing to make me worry, its drives fine :dunno:

OME coil springs are marked R and L for just that reason. :cheers:

just a thought cuz i've seen it before, check your sway bar, it might be twisted. also check the bushings and such.

Mine is like that too, but I never noticed it till I put in the 4x4 springs and front axle. I added an extra isolator pad on each side when I did this, and have been thinking about pulling the passenger side one out to see if it would level it out, but like the others said, it drives fine otherwise.

 

Just a thought too... the track bar mounts on the driver side, if it has any tension on it at all, it will pull the driver side low too.

:idea: Thats very true, i have a drop bracket on my track bar so thats likely what is causing mine. Cool, atleast i have a reason :thumbsup:

They're designed that way so when you're driving on a high crowned road the truck will sit level and you won't spill your drink.

:doh: :doh:

Mine used to lean several inches... really made getting the track bar back on after a run a PITA. There's not really anything you can do about it.
