Thumbs down truck leans

hey my 64 f250 leans to the passenger side quite a bit. Ive replaced the rear shocks, and it seemed to help a little. I'm thinking front shocks or leaf springs let me know what you think.

Neither have I, but it's a possibility.

Sam_Fear that '63 is sick. The stance is perfect. Is it lowered? I can't tell from the photo, if it is what did you do? Man that truck is awesome. Thanks for the replies you guys! I figured it was the leafs. The whole truck leans not just the cab or bed, I looked at the cab mounts and they look to be ok.

I agree, definitely check the leaf springs and the cab mounts. Shocks do not affect ride height with the exception of air shocks or coil assist type shocks. Good luck.
