I've got a lean...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Apr-02 AT 00:18 AM (EST)]A question for you body mechs. I have a 1980 F-100 with a 4.9L six. When looking at the truck from the rear it seems to lean towards the driver side. I replaced all the springs, front and rear, about a year ago but it still leans. It is only noticeable from the rear. The truck has never been wrecked and the frame is not bent. Any ideas??
And no, it's not due to carrying my big *** around. :-X23

Take some measurements at different locations to try to narrow the problem down. Get on a level surface and measure around some body points to see how far off it is. Then measure from the top of the rear axle on each side to the bottom of the frame. Measure the height of each front spring. Measure the height of the bottom of the frame to the ground.
