Is this before or after you filled the tank? Mine is not quite that bad but still noticeable with a 1/4 tank of fuel.

Just like what mine is like. Sitting on my level shop floor, it looks ridiculous. Full or empty tank, doesn't matter. Looks the same from the front too, so it is not bed based. It has to be a spring issue or the left side bushings are shorter than the right.
Anyone know if the bushings/body mounts are the same part left and right?

The truck sits sloppy like that regardless of the fuel in the tank. One wheel sticks out further than the other as well. I now have 35K miles on my 13' and have accepted her flaws unfortunately. The passenger rear is 1 1/4" taller than my drives side rear when measuring from the top of the hub cap to the bottom of the wheel well.

I can see Ford setting the truck for the crown of the road but it would be nice to know what the actual threshold is. Mine was off by more than a half inch but my driveway isn't level so I need to measure again on something flat.

My 99 f250 cc also has the driver rear end sag. As others have said, fuel level does not matter.
I just bought a 33' travel trailer so I'm curious to see how bad it looks when I get it hooked up.
This defiantly should be repaired free of charge.
I've owned 4 fords. The f250 has been the worst. The threads in the engine head are a joke. Water leaking into the a pillar is a joke, and this rear end sag is just making me look at chevys and dodges that much more.
I doubt I will ever buy a ford again if this is what my hard earned money results in.

Just checked mine and both sides are 43 3/4" dead on with 1/2 tank of fuel. That's the rear. The front has a 1/2" diff. which I've never noticed till this thread and personally it doesn't bother me. If this is the only anomaly I have with this truck I will sleep good at night. Too many important things to expend my energy on.
For me, I expend all of my energy on this. The main questions I have are... 1) Are we alone? 2) What is my purpose? 3) Why the fck is my truck leaning?! Not in that particular order.
Hahah just having fun

We realize you have many other important things you expend your energy on... You also don't have this as an issue. Perhaps if your truck leaned 1 3/4" you at least try to find a solution.

1 3/4" to me is a big deal...
Let us know what you find or figure out.

Correction, 1 1/4" not 1 3/4". The only thing I figured out was that the dealership consideres this within tolerance.

Crystal,
The selling dealer is singing the same song as the other dealers. They say it is within Ford Specs and they can't do anything about it without intervention from Ford. Can you PM me so we can get this fixed.

Ford has refused to do anything about the lean to the truck. Is it the end of the world? No but that tells me what kind of service they offer. Deny as long as they are satisfied with the way it looks. My First and last ford they just lost another customer.
