Left Side Lean
Upon preparing to install a leveling kit, I measured the front end to see how much lift I would actually end up with ...
Well, what I foud is that the drivers side is 3/4" lower.
Is there something I can do to correct this while I am under the beast?
Thanks

Ive got a 99 f250 with 110,000 on the od. Im thinking about switching the driver and passenger spring just so it will level out. I dont know about you but I dont like the feeling of sitting on a slant while going down the road.

If your talking about the front end, all SuperDuty's lean to the drivers side. Every single one I've had has and all the other's I've looked at as well.
Just measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well. It's usually about 3/4" - 1". Switching the springs from one side to the other won't correct this. I think it is an effect of the track bar.
I had thought once of putting a higher capacity spring on the drivers side, lets say if the regular spring rate was 5200#, putting a 5600# or 6000# spring on the drivers side, although I don't know if this would even work like you'd think it should or if it would cause something else to be off.
I know on the '04 Dodge 2500 I had, it had a higher capacity spring on the drivers side than the passengers side.
