DOES YOUR TRUCK NOT SIT LEVEL? RIGHT REAR IS HIGHER THAN LEFT REAR

[RedDakooter05]

Mine sits uneven, but nothing is even on the roads/parking lots around here so I guess it never bothers me. Quick fix is to park it 180 degrees.


Also to those that keep talking about fuel levels and such, this truck isn't wide enough for that to make much if any a difference lmao.

I have the same thing happening as everyone else on my Tremor. And yes, a tank of gas does help exemplify the leaning problem. I took it to the dealership and they ordered a new rear leaf spring for the driver's side (which on the tremors, have and extra leaf in it). It did not resolve the problem at all. They then told me they will open a hot ticket with Ford to see what the company itself has to say about it. If I have to, I will have it shimmed or I'll do what the other responder said and upgrade my front coil/shocks to compensate for the lean. I'll repost Ford Co. response when I finally get one. Should be any day now. I've got about 2 more weeks of B/B warranty left on it because it's a 2021. I wanted it on record regardless of what they do.

Craig,
This is my experience with the leaning problem...

New member here. My 23 Scab also is lower by 1/2" on the driver's side. I don't think it has anything to do with the fuel tank. I think it is designed this way because properly designed roads have a cross slope built into them and average around 2% to drain water off the roadway. Given an 84" truck width, the road would drop by 1.7" from left to right with a 2% cross slope. Lowering the drivers side would help level out the ride on paved highways.

Wouldn't a way to narrow down the issue would be to measure the top of the frame on each side? I would think this would help determine if it was suspension related or bed mounting.
As far as being a fuel tank issue, put a person inside on the right to offset the weight. If it doesn't, then not fuel tank related. Just a couple of ideas that came to mind.
I'm sure mine leans, but it's not enough to bother me.
