Front tilted

[gramsay]

The front right side of my 67 ford f100 sits lower then the left by about 2 inches, what can I do to fix this or is there something I need to replace? The rear end sits level.

Inflate the tire? Really need more from you on this one... mesaure the springs, check the cab mounts, radiator support mounts... take some pictures of that side of the suspension and post em so we can see if there is anything glaringly obvious...

Could be lots of things, but I'm guessing springs/mounts. Need more info.

I just changed my springs due to the same thing, now it sits level. Have you had spring work done lately? If so, the springs are different lengths and if you mix them up you'll get about 2 inches short on the passenger side.

The tires were the first things I checked, but I think it is the springs. I measured them and the passenger side is smaller.

Well, checking them installed isn't really going to tell you too much, for the most part, though it might get you started. As Lee stated, the two front springs are different heights when on the ground next to each other. The taller of the two needs to be on the passenger side, since the engine/tranny are offset to that side, so the extra bit of spring is to compensate for that. When I was assembling my front end I also got them mixed up and the R/F corner was lower than the left, and I had to disassemble/reassemble to switch the springs around, and now it's sitting pretty.

I never knew that.... going to add it to my list of "Things to Know" for my big disassembly and restoration.

Thanks,
