Im guessing that your front is too low? Most common is to swap in F350 leafs if its a 4wd or coils if its a 2wd. There are add a leafs also. Let us know what you want to level, and if its a 4x4 or 2wd.

its a 4x4 87 f250 with the I-6 300 4.9 liter.... the passenger side leaf may be weak im assuming because the tire leans in, but it is nothing mechanical i dont think because the alignment or nothing is bad.... I'm assuming its a bad leaf, but yeah thanks for the help guys. I just think that it would look alittle bit better if the front end was brought up a little bit.

The tire problem is common on F250's with that TBB axle up front. Have you cked your ball joints, thats usually the problem 1/2 the time.
