So they put a shimmy in it to fix it? What causes the probelm in the first place?

Not to be funny-is it leaning with you in or out of the truck? I know a couple of Louisiana boys and they are not little. If the truck is level empty but is leaning full, then I would look at the shocks on that side. Could be a bad one or even upside down. But that new, I would let the dealer figure it out. Chris

Considering the OP's inability to operate a keyboard (or BBcode), I would question his ability to operate a tape measure correctly...

Same problem with the tires sticking out. I wouldn't worry about it.

Well First off you can't take extact measurement when parked in the street or on a shop floor since they are not level enough. It would have to be on a frame machine that is set a dead level.

Forgive me for the question in this post. A few years ago I was restoring one of my MBZ G wagon when I found that the body was not quite level on the chassis. At first I thought that struts then springs but found that somewhere it the trucks life someone had the body off and forgot to put back some of the mounting washers. So here come the question if your chassis/frame is level with the floor of your shop but your body is not then take look at how Ford mounts the cab to the frame. If this is not the case then I would shoot a laser down the frame to check for any bents. Your truck could have had a problem after it left the factory. I remember once the Dodge dealership I used to buy from (now out of business), was taking delivery of some trucks when one rolled off the side of the ramp. You can guess what happened, it flipped on it's side doing a bit of damage. I asked what is going to happen with that one. I was told it would be sent to a shop and be repaired then sold at auction. Now will there be disclosure of what happened to this truck. I doubt if CarFax would report as it had not been titled. Just some more input for you, it may help or not. Chris

well if you think a shop floor is level you know nothing about concrete. most specs for buildings are 1 inch per 10ft raise or drop
