Here are the pictures to the leaning problem

[Nasanieru]

Hey Guys and Gals,

This is an update to a post I made earlier, about two weeks ago. Something to do with my truck leaning pretty bad. I now have pictures of the lean, with the pic of the rear being the best. In the pictures I am aware of the rear passanger tire being low. But with it low, or filled up it still leans the same. I have also in between the two posts converted the suspension over with a kit. And, replace the front sway bar links. It is Still leaning... Here are the pictures hoping for any suggestions.

Thanks

Nathan

P.S. The picture of the trucks passanger side is the side that its leaning too, the other pictures is for comparison.

do u have air suspension?

You could swap the springs in the back and see if it changes side. If so you can contact the company you got the conversion kit from and see if they would send you new springs. If you swap them out stand them up next to each other and see if they are the same height. If they are and the lean switches to the opposite side it may be a spring tension issue.

Dear Freeway,

I do not have air suspension any more. I have converted it over to a coil over type kit. And to answer back to "This Guy" do you think that the lean would be all the way to the front. I didn't get a picture of it but the front leans the same as the rear. I am at a loss...any other suggestions would be great!

Thanks,

Nathan

The front could be an issue also. I did the same thing to my Ex and did not have an issue with it leaning. If you had one air bag that would leak down over night it might have did something to the front spring. You could always put a spacer under the spring that is leaning to level it out but it will not solve the problem with the spring. The back is fairly easy to swap so I would swap the springs and see if it leans the opposite way. If it does then you know it is something with the back springs. If it doesn’t change then the problem is with the front.

I had a lean bad to the pass side, rf sway bar link was broken, replaced sway bar link and back to level. If I disconnect my jeep swaybars, go thrash on it and park level , it can lean up to 2 inches either way

I don't know what "This Guy" is about...but I have no clue...all I can think of is maybe they put the wrong springs in there...I have the springs from my Suncore..Sunocore...Sunucore....one of those...I didn't use them at all due to putting dropping springs on instead...let me know if you want them...NEVER USED

Thanks guys,

Have changed the sway bar link and now it handles awesome but still a lean. I was reading and wondered what everyone would think about adjusting the torsion bar to raise the truck up on the passanger side. I have never had the truck alligned before, but it seems to lean that way and the suspension feels really good so that would be my last idea short of replacing the kit again. Loving the feedback, helping...truly is helping!

Thanks

I have that same list to port (sorry, retired Navy and some things are a part of me I won't let go) anyway, I think (and I'm gonna try this) if you adjust your torsion bar on the driver's side (port) it should level it out. I'll let you know when I do mine. Out

doesn't the port side always list due to the approx 180# of constant fuel in the tank?

Panhandler has a good point. That never occurred to me. Makes total sense though.

My old '97 sure shows it when parked, but when aired-up, looks normal.

That's a good point. My '98 doesn't have air suspension. Do you have a lift on your '97? Did a lot of partying at St. Cloud State back in the day. Nice looking ride!

No lift, stock suspension.

My truck also does not have a lift. Biggest tires I could fit stock and no running boards make it look lifted. Yeah SCSU is definitely a quieter campus now than people made it sound in the past, but we still have our fair share of fun haha.

could the body mounts be causing this? idk much about air suspension but could the air bags have been compensating for the passenger mounts being worn or broken?

If I remember right he didn't actually have air suspension. It has a leveling feature so it might try and compensate but am not sure either. My guess is it was a spring that was worn out or something rusted through.
