Right Side Sitting low

Hi everyone I have a 1979 f100 2wd the right front side is sitting about 1.5 inches lower than the left side. Where is the best place to start to correct this issue?

The best place is to start measuring various points on the frame to determine what is causing the sag... it could be a just a sagging spring(s).


Air up the tires evenly and measure. Also measure the compressed coil spring height from the spring bucket to a point on the I-beam - not the ground.


Was your truck ever subject to an engine swap?
