West Coast lean

Post by hickchemistry07 »

When standing behind my '71 LWB Custom, the left side of my bed seems to be sagging about an inch or so. :( I think it maybe wore out springs, but just wanted some more opinions. Anybody else ever dealt with this problem?

Are you sure the cab isn't leaning to the right due to cab mounts? :wink:

well if you dont replace the springs maybe you could swap sides with them. that could straighten it out. but replacing them would be the thing to do.
