My 2000 sd crew cab 4x4 powderstroke measures 1/2 in lower on the drivers side both front and rear. I only have 800 miles on it. The dealer said ford told him it should level out in a few thousand miles. If not they can ajust it. Anyone else notice this? One side from the floor to the wheelwell is 47 1/2 and the other is 47.

Very common problem. My truck has the 4" blocks in the rear and does not sit level in the first place. I was going to bug Ford about the drivers side being lower but since I am going to install a leveling kit to make the front end sit the same as the back, I figured I would just shim up the driver side to get to level.

Put a fat chick in the back on the high side. "Jack Sprat put fat in the back, now his Ford don't lean."

I have a 2000 crew cab and it leans on the left side also. I took it to the dealer, (waste of time), the factory says the there is a 5/16 threshhold that they allow for the difference. They would not fix it. Oh well, I guess. "It will fix itself in a few months", yeah right. I just had my tires replaced by General because FORD doesn't warranty tires. They were thumping going down the road. I put 305/70/16 on the stock Lariat wheel. These will fit on the Centerlines I plan on putting on it.

SicSuperDuty...I don't know of any vehicle manufacturer that warranties the tires. The tire manufacturer provides new vehicle tire warranty.

The gas tank is on the drivers side, so it's bound to have more weight to that side. Go figure Ford - put it on the other side next time! Or give us fat chicks to put in the bin.
