Mine sags on the drivers side too. Can't tell if it's the spring at the front causing it or the rear leaf spring doing that.

I don't have access to the LMC pricing, what is that going to cost to replace your leaf springs?

I'm finally joining the "Dodge Lean" group. Mines not that bad right now, takes people a little bit to notice it but I guess since it's my truck, I noticed it immediately. It'll be awhile before I get it fixed though since it isn't that bad, the driver side is maybe .5" lower then the pass. My top priority right now is my transmission, saving up to buy a viper tranny.

Mine still has me bugged slightly... the rear is exactly the same on both sides, but in the front, the driver's side sags about 0.5 inches or a little more. I know that when I get in it, my extra 230 lbs of weight drops it down even a little more. That is the coil I had installed brand new last year, so I know the coils are fine.

I bought a 1" lift kit (spacers) for the coils. I am going to install one on only the driver's side this weekend (depending on when my in-laws leave) or next, as long as I can rent/find some coil spring compressors.

Yea when I fix mine it'll actually be when I lift my truck 3" so everything is going to be replaced and I'll have a fresh new suspension to work with.

If you look closely you can clearly see that the truck is fine the house is not level.

Lol...this picture was taken before it started leaning, I think it's almost 3 months old. My truck just started leaning maybe a month ago.

I had a fix to the problem. I took the overload (bottom) spring from another leaf pack. I then cut the center out and used as a 1 inch lift block. Problem solved.
