I went and measured a few at the dealership.. I measured these from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender.. They all seem to be "in spec" for the most part.. Not nearly as bad as mine..
Yeah, shouldn’t I just replace them both? There some aftermarket one I can use? Or just go with ford... maybe I just got a bad spring.
You say the left spring is suspect, meaning the drivers side? The right rear spring is higher, pushing down the front right. So is it the left spring or...
Second dealership had the truck for 10 days.. they measured the frame in the body shop.
They said the frame is fine, so there is nothing to fix.. they won’t fix the lean.
So, In your professional opinion, what could cause this ?
1. Bent frame ?
2. Bad springs ?
3. Bad Leafs ?
4. something else ?
I can understand some differences in the manufacturing process that might lead to 1/8 to 1/4 inch variance, but beyond that I'd think something was wrong.. something...

Its at a different dealership now (has been since Monday) This is the...
You would think the dealership could fix it... They've had it since Monday now, no word.. Honestly, I'm tired of measuring it 10 ways to Sunday.. No matter how I measure it, its off. I feel like I have to convince people that it leans.. At the end of the day, its completely obvious, yet...
Well, I'm clearly not happy with the "Spec" - I measured a few other Rangers, they were 1/8 different. I'd be happy with that..
Mine is just so visually noticeable, it pisses me off... maybe its me, ADD, ADHD, whatever, but it's not cool..

Some updates on this case... Ford denied my buyback request..
So, I'm taking the truck to another ford dealership. Already took it to this dealer and they said the "won't fix it" its "within spec". A little pressure from Ford Customer Care and this time they are going to take it to their body...
