Super Duty Lean

Do the 2017+ trucks have the infamous super duty lean? By the time my 2016 was a year old it had about .75 inches lean towards the drivers side. I researched it and found out it was a “thing”. Just curious if these newer trucks have it too.

My 2017 personal truck does not have it. But my 2016 company truck has it bad. It also leans 3/4" to the drivers side. It has the 6.2 gas.

Yep. My '21 has almost an inch of rear lean. I would guess you'd have to have the springs either replaced, or maybe one side re-sprung? Or you could use different sized rear blocks to fix it. I Doubt Ford will do anything about it.

Neither my 2012, 2016 or 2021 had or have it that can be seen with the eye and I'm not that **** to pull a tape measure out to check it.

My 2019 Lariat CCSB 6.7 has it. The bed is also offset to the drivers side by almost the same measure. I was told by the local Ford service department that there isn’t anything the can do about the lean. I pretend it’s not there...

Actually a properly paved roadway is humped or crowned in the middle so that rainwater runs off. The inch "offset" would make the truck level.

Maybe a gym membership would solve it... or get a fat passenger.

I also pretended it didn’t exist on my 2016.

I can’t notice any and won’t measure because if I find some I won’t be able to un-see it...

My '13 had some lean, I haven't measured my '19 and have no intentions of doing it.

My '18 is a half inch lower in the passenger rear. Only time it bothers me is when looking at it when she's parked in the garage. Thought about getting a block 1/2" taller for right but I quickly forget about it....

My 2020 has it, about 1/2 inch. I used the PMF spacers on top of the front spring to correct it.
