70 F100 Sitting Weird

Post by FordTruck »

Why Would One Side Of My My Truck Sit Lower Than The Other?
The Left Side Of The Truck Sits Just Fine But The Passenger Side Sits Lower You Notice It Even More When Sitting On That Side And Just By Looking At It. I Put New Shocks On The Back But It Still Sits Like That What Else Could Be Wrong A Cab Or Bed Mount? I Would Like To Fix That Because I Hate The Way It Looks.

It could be a combination of things. Week spring up front, in with a week leaf spring in the rear. Some others might have some ideas but that is where I would start.

If you're coil springs have ever been changed, make sure that the springs are correct. The driver side spring is taller than the passenger side. If they are wrong than the truck will sit taller on one side. I accidentally did that once and it took this website to set me straight.

Will Leafs Out Of Another Truck Fit Because My Brother Has Some Heavy Duty Leafs Off His 83 F150?

Measure them and see. I know that the rear springs are the same on the F350 from '67-'97.
