Spring rate? 2012 Ecoboost Crew

The front driver side suspension feels stiffer when going over bumps etc.... compare to the passenger side. As far as I understand the fuel tank is on the driver side. Did ford make that on purpose to compensate for the driver's and fuel's weight?

Any of you guys feel the same way as me when you are driving your truck? or is it my truck has got a bad driver side shock or suspension parts

I'm confident that the spring rates are identical. Never have heard of a vehicle with differing spring rates between sides, I think that would cause some really goofy handling.

I agree with Tom...there should be no difference...maybe put it on the lift and take a look see?
