Crooked back axle

Hi guys I had my truck on a lift and the drivers side tire hangs about an inch and a half lower than the passenger. Is that normal?

 

I just measured from there and it is more like 7/8 of an inch

 

When on the ground it is only a little over a quarter inch

 

need more info:

how did you measure (from where to where specifically)

how old are your springs

etc

 

From bumpstop on axle to bumpstop on frame and the springs have about 20,000 miles on them

 

I have a 3 inch add a leaf with 1 inch blocks

 

Rear

 

Doesn't sound 'crooked' to me. Sounds more like you have more droop on one side than the other. Are the shocks maxed out? Are the shocks limiting down travel?

 

That might be it, if so is that any concern?

 

If the shocks are the the limiting factor, yes, it'll ruin them. Dis mount each shock on one end (top or bottom, doesn't matter). Does it allow the axle to droop even further?

 

From factory the shocks arent equal lengths. 7/8" would be normal


Edit: if you have 4" of lift then what shocks are you using?

 

They are fabtechs

 

factory.. the passenger side shock is just under an inch longer then the drivers side.

I'll bet your shocks are of equal length... and so the axle can't sit level at full droop

Ive had a few lifted yotas a 96, 03, 04 and my buddy has a 99. They all have a lean to them.. maybe wore out leaf springs or even ball joints. Check your struts too.

 

Thats called the taco lean. Caused by more weight on drivers side.

 

Right like devin said thats taco lean but the op's axle is hanging. I bet as tacodell mentioned above that the fabcrap shocks are of equal length thus causing the axle to hang crooked since the shock mounts are different side to side.

OP are you sure you dont have a 3" block and 1" AAL? Just curious...

 

no they are three inch add a leafs, because when I was done the back was sagging a bit so I made one inch blocks and installed them with the add a leafs to make it level

 

the shocks are what is causing it, but I still have plenty of travel for what I need because where I live it's mud and snow I go through. so no worries about bottoming out shocks.
