Others have done something similar. However, I'm inclined to believe that's not the best idea. You now effectively have different spring rates on each side of your rear-end, and front end as well. I've done suspension work on quite a few vehicles. I've even rolled my own kits a couple of times. Never have I seen a factory or aftermarket setup vary spring rate from side to side.
All joking aside, weights or wedges still adjust your effective spring rate. Great if you're only turning left. Not so great for real world driving or load carrying.
The front coilovers have the same spring rate. They are just ride height adjustable with threaded collar. The rear was drastic because I built up the leaf pack super soft. So I re-built them back up slightly stiffer (both sides). But the driver side has an ever so slight stiffer build. They are very close to the same. But it is required for that side of the truck being heavier. I've tried many builds and options. This worked the best. Like I said it does absolutely nothing strange while driving, cornering, braking, off-road etc. I wish there was a perfect solution.
As you run that collar up the threaded shaft you are changing the spring's pre-load, effectively changing your spring rate.
I don't have them adjusted very far off from each other. It's not like I went crazy lol. They are very close to the same. But no, they are the same spring rate each. No + or -.
MY 2019 Crewcab FX4 that had a 1" droop on both front and rear drivers side - dealer changed out rear leaf springs and improved a little (1.2 -3.4" to within specs according to dealer) but after another 15000km droop is back to where it was
Yeah, right. Never heard of it before.Read almost all the post on this thread…has anyone got to a resolution? I am dealing with a 1/2” difference between the driver (lean) and passenger sides. My Ranger (2019) came with two shims on driver side and one on the passenger. I am not looking for perfect or to do lift modes…just looking to get lean somewhat better then it is now. Got it back from dealer today they told me it’s the first they’ve seen and that they had to call Ford to find out where or what to do next.
Take out the passenger side shim and see where that puts you. Worth a shot at least. If it doesn't work out just put it back.Read almost all the post on this thread…has anyone got to a resolution?

I just checked all 4 corners on mine. ⅛" difference on the front, ½" on the back. So, not so much a "lean" as a "twist". Or more specifically, the low driver rear is probably lifting the front Passenger slightly. Spacer on the driver rear should solve it for those who care enough to bother.Read almost all the post on this thread…has anyone got to a resolution?

That was my initial thought and what I was hoping the dealership would do when I had it in there. However, that is not what happened as they explained they needed to call Ford to see if this was even a known issue. I followed up today with a phone call to the dealership and they told me that they would contact me when they heard from Ford and that this could take weeks.
