Truck lean to driver side.

Today I noticed that my truck has a slight lean to the driver side. (7.3, 350 srw) I grabbed a tape and sure enough the driver side is about 1" lower than the passenger. Does ford warranty this or no? If not is there anything I can do about it that won't void the warranty? Could I buy a 1" level kit and only install the driver side or will that cause problems? Thanks for anyone who can help.

Is your gas tank full of fuel? Could cause it to lean some since it's located on the drivers side. I wouldn't think it would be off an inch though.

Google "super duty lean". It's a fairly common thing.

About half. I afraid to measure it again after I fill up.

Some people have put spacers in, I'm not sure if Ford does a warranty fix. Call your dealership and see what they say about it, they may blow you off so just be aware. I don't blame you, once you know you can't stop seeing it...

Your box is probably misaligned too but within Ford's margin of error. One rear tire sticks out more than the other. Just enough to notice the difference. They won't fix that either.

But they did fix the misalignment between the cab and bed on my 2017. They moved the cab over 3/8" under a 12-month "adjustments" warranty.
