Ok I just read "joshokelly's" thread on driverside lean. I just purchased a 2000 SLT Sport 2WD and noticed that my truck had this same lean. Not a big deal, I assumed it to be the springs and I just had to figure out which spring was doing what to cause the lean. Let me start off by saying I thought the truck was at stock height. But as I inspected each corner of the truck I had concerns. The leaf packs seem to have lost their arch and looks like it was corrected with add-a-leafs and blocks.
Could this also cause the front drivers side to lean if one one side of the rear was weaker than the other? Now the front end puzzles me a bit, the upper spring cup (I hope thats correct terminology) has an extended arm that holds what I think is a bump stop that is connected to the lower control arm. Again not a big deal but I could swear the bumpstop has a the Ford script trademark molded in. Hmmm? I guess I'm wondering if the previous owner did some mods to lift the truck.
Any thoughts out there?

 

peectures would help

 

Here are a couple of pic's taken with my cell phone. Does that say "Ford" on the close up shot?

 

It sure does say FORD. Anyway, the coil or the leaf spring can cause the lean. But 9 times out of ten it's the leaf spring.

 

+1, I'd say 99 times out of 100 its the leaf spring.

I replaced my driver's side leaf spring, and that got rid of my driver's side lean. I also replaced the front coil, but that didn't do anything to fix the lean. It was all the leaf spring.

 

Cheapest way out is to go to jy and get a passenger side leaf assembly.

 

Thanks for the input on the rear springs. I'll have to check out the local junk yards for springs. It seems that I will have to change both springs as I can see they have lost their arch even with the add-a-leafs. So should I get a set off one truck and switch them around on my truck. What I mean is should I put the donor passenger spring on the driver side and the donor driver side on the passenger side? OR.....find two passenger side springs to install.
Also, does the 1500 sport model come with factory lift blocks and should the bump stops up front be touching the lower control arms?

 

Not sure on the bump stops, but all Ram 1500s came with rear blocks from the factory. Sports have the same stock setup from the factory as regular Rams. The Sport group was just an appearance package, no performance or functional differences.

I got a passenger leaf spring from the junk yard that had slightly more mileage on it than my own, and put it on the passenger side of my truck. Then I moved my original passenger leaf spring over to my driver's side, and discarded the driver's side leaf spring. You could tell right away upon install how much more worn out the driver's side leaf spring was compared to the passenger side, the passenger spring fit so much tighter (nicer) than the driver spring that was removed.
