Default 2008 Ram HEMI

I know it may sound pickey but my truck leans 1 1/2 inch on the left front. Dealership says its allowable and not to worry.

When I look at the front on level ground, its noticeable. Tire pressure is not the issue.

Any suggestions.

Sounds like a coil spring issue and as far as 1-1/2' being allowable, I'd say that's arguable....lol

LMAO, but then it leaves him to say, she'll tell you that your lack of 1-1/2" looks pathetic and won't get you anywhere's. Funny though......


First of all 1-1/2" has to effect handling. It certainly isn't within "factory specs". BS if they tell you otherwise. it's a problem they don't care to fix because it won't pay them well. It's called warranty work. they hate it. 2nd the lean has to effect your alignment as well. i'd demand they replaced the coil spring and shock and then re-align it.

Also, if you think about it, people here are paying a few hundred bucks for 2" leveling kits because it makes that much of a difference. $90 for the kit and $90 for the alignment and then their time for the install. I notice 1/2" although less noticeable on a bif fender gap truck, still is noticeable.




SHOW US SOME PICS ON LEVEL GROUND. where's the trolls holding the signs.....useless w/out pics..hehehe
