Body lean question..

[the 18th letter]

I've notice for the past 2-3 years that my truck leans to he left a bit when you're standing behind it. I recently put my 22's back on with new tires and the left one is rubbing. I can see the scrape marks on the left wheel well and I remember hearing the scrape while hitting some dips at highway speed. Could this be as simple as a bad shock? The right one doesn't seem to be rubbing.

or leaf spring...fuel tank is on the left too

Leaf spring sounds expensive, is it? (bye bye BBtune in June)!

I'm gonna post pics when I get home to see if that helps the diagnosis. It's slight and people don't notice it until I point it out.

check out the leafs to see if they are all okay, not cracked or anything. just a thought

I just painted the wheel wells and didn't notice anything, but I'll check again as you sometimes miss shit when you're not looking for it.

haha yea, the one guy on here had a few broken packs and never realized it until he did something under there as well. Im not sure if broken packs has anything to do with a "lean" but its a start lol.

Well I stopped by my mechanic yesterday and he seem to think it's a suspension problem, CONO! Sagging leafs in the rear. ( I ain't about to fix that ish! ) He's going to do a wheel alignment next week and said he can crank the front a bit to alleviate the rub on the fenders when I hit bumps at highway speed. Not sure if I want that as I like how my truck sits now. It is higher in the back than in the front. When it rains it pours!

changing leafs isnt a big deal. just a bunch of money for the leafs. around 175 to 200 each..

Labor wise.

Money is tight and I don't really like the 22's anyway, plan on selling them in the fall and going with a 20' rim next spring. So I may just crank it up a notch until then as long as it's not retarded looking! LOL
