    Is this a issue with the rear shocks or what's going on.... 16228552471454449597435715756407.jpg

    Taco lean.

    Take a look at your leaf springs, the left is sagged out.

    Measure from the bump stop to the frame and you'll see.

    Then take a look at the fuel tank.
    You’ll see what contributed to the left sag. - Hint: location

    One is extended 5.5" and the other 6.75" can I adjust them or is one shot.?


    My leaf springs I can't see much difference in one another

    The left is “more” shot, than the right.
    I’d replace both at the same time.
    There is no adjustment.

    You either can go with factory springs or aftermarket.
    If you want better springs, I’d say go aftermarket.

    The gas tank being on the left didn’t help.
    When it’s full of gas, that that much more weight on that side than the right.
    So, the left will have more weight on it at all times. Which leads to a faster saving sling than the right.
    Even if it isn’t full now, when it is full, it isn’t “helping” the springs any.

    You should also look at adding a .25" to your driver side strut/coil too if you haven't yet. the front will be leaning too which doesn't help.

    That’s a reservoir for the shock it shouldn’t effect the issue you’re addressing

    He's talking about the fuel tank dude. Where your truck stores the gasoline you pour into it

    Fill it with Brawndo. It's got what shocks crave!
