3rd Gen Lean

Pic from the front too.

Will do, it leans from the front and back so I'll get measurements too.

Perfect, What's also really weird is you said it wasn't like this when you first put them in. Could the rear springs have popped out of their seat? If not then something must be broken, bent, or those Moog springs REALLY suck, as someone else mentioned.

Ya that's what I'm worried about. I suppose it's possible a spring could've popped out of a seat but it hasn't been off road since the change and I can't imagine flexing enough on pavement for that to happen.

I thought I read on here somewhere that the lean was mostly due to the panhard bar after a lift?

Anyway, I have a pretty noticeable lean as well. I'm pretty sure it's at least 1" difference.

My panhard bar was adjustable. So I don't think it has anything to do with that.

do the left and right springs have part numbers?

also my truck sits uneven, and the rear springs are 8.75 wrap left, 8.25 wrap right lx coils. and yy yb up front. the thing is though, since most roads are crowned its actually fine.

funny thing about the lx coils is they are actually softer than the lc coils, according to kevin(guy that works on all the lifted 80 series in phoenix), when i add weight in the back it sags quickly, if there is no weight i sit at 6" with tools and steel in the back It sits at 3.5-4"

Well here's a new wrinkle guys...

Noticed yesterday that the truck didn't appear to be leaning at all. My wife confirmed that it looked much less "leany" as well. Measured the rear fender heights from the ground and now they're only 1" different instead of 1.75" different. The front fenders are 0.5" different.

Wednesday evening we drove through downtown on a REALLY rough cobblestone road and I'm wondering if maybe a spring was unseated and got re-seated? Bizarre stuff.

I haven't had a chance to mess with it much this week but hope to get under the truck and look around this weekend.

Not sure these show much but here are a couple pics from when it was severely leaning:

And yesterday when it wasn't so noticeable:

Those pictures are AWFUL at showing anything, sorry!

Looks just like my truck did. Added front left toytec spacer.

Front Top Plate Spacer (One - 1/4")

I also added the ome rear 10mm spacer.

Rear Coil spring spacers 10MM

This pretty much leveled me out. Front was exactly the same. Rear driver side is about 1/4" higher than passenger. I just keep my tools on that side. And this is with stock panhard bar.

"

The factory rear springs are the same part number.

Old thread revival! What are you guys doing about the driver side lean front and rear? I’m on stock suspension, thanks!

I had OME 881F/890R springs installed in 2013. From the beginning, there was a slight but noticeable lean. I haven't measured it, but I'd guess it was about 1/2 to 3/4" down on the driver's side. 10.5 years later, the lean is the same. It's imperceptible while driving or sitting in the vehicle. And, yes...I stack heavy stuff on the right side if it's going to be in the truck for a week, like on a camping trip.
Worrying about correcting that slight of a lean is not something I trouble my mind with.
