I'm going to a different dealer today for a oil change. Just turned over 7000 miles. I'm going to ask them to fix it, if they don't I'm going to contact the same lawyer I did when I sued Ram on a class action lawsuit that Cost RAM a lot of money. I'm sure judging by the posters here this problem goes way back to 2009. I'll bet this attorney will jump on this.

Mine has had over an inch difference from day one. I just learned to live with it. If I ever level it, I'll just correct it then. My dealer didn't do a thing either.

I have a 2014, I installed a 4" BDS lift, even with new springs all the way around, it still sags...

Well today I went to Jim Burke Ford in Bakersfield to get an oil change. I can't believe the attitude I received by the service writer at the Quick Express oil counter. She seemed as though I was a bother to her from the first greeting. She ask me if I bought the truck there. When I told her No she gained even more of an attitude. Needless to say I won't be going back there. Oh, and I didn't spend my hard earned money there either. I called the purchasing dealer Future Ford of Clovis and made an appointment for next Saturday. It's going to be a 3 hour drive one way so I will see if I get better service. They said they would have one of their tech's there to look at the truck even though they are closed for service on Saturday. Can't ask for better service than that. I think there is a stigma from dealers that if you didn't buy it from us then they are not going to help you. I will keep you guys posted on the progress.

Well that sure throws a wrench into the issue.

If not OEM spring based issue, what else would make the trucks sit like that? Everything else is "hard" mounted.

IDK, if you read other threads / forums. Even when lifted, they still sag. Has to be a mounting point difference or something...

I ain't a real big ole boy! But, it sags with no one in it! (I haven't gained too much weight, just put it different places!)

1/4 inch diff. on mine. Can't see it and therefore not concerned. There are more important things going on in my life. No offense meant to anyone that considers this a game changer. My old Chevy leaned like crazy. Never affected anything. Maybe I'm just to easy going on some things?

I'm the same as you, it is what it is. I haven't brought it to a dealer, haven't really measured close, just noticed it. So far the tires wear evenly, I did have issues with an alignment, but I don't think it had to do with the body lean issue.

You only have a 1/4" difference so you think it's not a big deal. Would you think the same if yours leaned a full inch? VERY noticeable. At some point when I can find the time, mine will be going into get checked out. An inch difference is not acceptable.

It sounds like your selling dealership is going to take great care of you, 2015F350. Thanks for offering to keep us in the loop. If you need me to step in and assist, just let me know.

That Chevy was way over an inch and I drove it for over 30 years. It was a truck and used as such. Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning it but like I said I have more important things to get ulcers over.

That is exactly what they said to me. It is within tolerance. You should not be able to see it with the naked eye in my opinion. I think it looks ridiculous.
