Leaf Sag??
Jacked the rear end of my truck up from the center of the differential and noticed the passenger side rear tire lifted off the floor approx 2" before the driver side started to lift?
Are my springs week on the drivers side?

Yea both of my perches were rotted through, and the springs were sitting on the bed. I had alot of weight in the bed also, didnt even dent the bottom. I noticed when I was powerwashing off after plowing. But yea if it sits level then your fine.

Thats the problem I have now its sitts on a tilt towards the driver side. I want it level again! I put a complete set of 2.5" springs in last year I got from a wrecking yard they had an extra leaf in the set, which is what I wanted, maybe they were weak?

Might be, but I dont think so. My mustang with all new springs and shocks sits a little lower on the drivers side. When I wash it, the rain puddles in the wing on the drivers side. You know how the fox mustang gt wing is?
