Help!! My truck is leaning to the right???
I have a 2001 1500 sport 4 wheeler, I just bought this truck about month ago and I have had this problem since I bought it, Well the problem is when sitting on level ground it leans towards the drivers side! It is a noticable about 2" lower on the drivers side than the pass. Now the truck has a BDS coil spacers in the front and add a leafs in the rear. I have replaced the front coils, checked over the rear springs, replaced front sway bar and links, replaced all shocks with ones from BDS for the lft, I have had this truck on a lift for over 4 hours looking over every single thing to find out whats wrong and I have had no luck! I took it to the dealer ship and they told me it must be weak rear springs? But they look alright? I really dont want to waiste money like I did on the new front coils! Has anyone had this problem? Any info would be great! thanks
I have the same problem with my truck. I don't think I'm leaning 2", but it is noticeable. I've always wondered if it has to do with the fuel tank being on that side of the truck, especially when you consider that when full (with a 25gal tank), you're carrying about 150lbs of fuel on that side of the truck. Just a thought.
Compare the distance from top of tires to bottom of the fender archfor right and left rear wheels then right and left front wheels.If the problem is rear springs, the reardifference should be more than the front.
Then, if you don't have a problem in the front, leveling the rear with a jack under the frame behind the rear wheel should level the front as well.

Your dealer should have seen this, but just for fun take a look at the position of the adjustment cams onyour lower control arms...See if they are oriented in the same position.
is the truck sitting on pavement/blacktop or gravel.. i spent a day looking around trying to figure out why my truck was sitting high in one corner.. come to find out when i pulled into my driveway i parked ontop of a large rock that my tire covered.. lol.. this is not to insult your inteligence.. but just mearly stating dont look over the obvious
other then that.. you said you replaced the coils in the front.. then this would leave me to start checking the suspension/frame where everything is mounted to.. and i would check the BDS lift (spacers) they could have broke or gave out under a load and cause it to dip
also check your mounts.. like said above.. i would start taking measurements left and right to try and narrow down exactly where its starts and stops dipping
