All 4 wheel-wells sit at different heights..? Could my frame be racked?

The stance of my truck annoys the hell out of me. Even with brand new springs front and rear, it doesn't sit normal. Each corner sits at a different height. It's not the Tacoma lean, it's not the forward rake... The front passenger side and the rear driver side sit higher than the front driver and rear passenger... On the driver side, I have a forward rake about 1.5" higher in the rear, and on the passenger side, it sits level, and sometimes the front is a bit higher than the rear. WTF Is my frame screwed up? Anyone else notice this on their trucks? It was like this before the new springs and after.

I've got OME 880's up front, and wheeler's 5 pack in the rear.

 

Twisted man..twisted

 

A good pic speaks volumes

 

Here's some pics. Kind tough to see, because all of the heights are within 1.5" of eachother. But you can see the decent rake on the driver side (desireable) and the level/bro-lean on the passenger (very undesireable).

Any thoughts?

 

I'm unfamiliar with that leaf pack , but is there any chance it is side specific ? I'm pretty sure the Dakars are side specific for 1st Gens , perhaps these are the same and installed on the wrong sides ?

 

I'm running 5100's all around, set at 0". No trim packers or anything. The wheelers 5 pack is side specific. I know that they were installed correctly. The driver's side leaf was arched more than the passenger, supposedly to compensate for Tacoma Lean. That could make some sense. Idk why the passenger front is so high though, it doesn't make any sense.

 

Again, the truck had the same odd stance though, even before I redid the suspension. I thought new stuff would fix it but it didn't really. I just have to assume that somehow the frame kinda settled like that, perhaps because of inperfect stock springs.

I thought about putting a 1/2in block in the rear passenger... wouldnt make all four corners even, but it would at least give both sides a similar front:back rake. Then I'd be pretty much just left with the passenger-to-driver lean again.

 

Have you run a carfax on it to see if it was wrecked? PM me and I'll see if I can help you with that...

 

i bought it from my grandpa, it definitely wasn't wrecked. It was actually taken care of really well. Frame doesn't have any rust either; just passed the frame inspection.

 

How level is your driveway? might be planning a small part as well.

 

I see your box and cab line up perfectly, thats a good sign that it isnt twisted (badly at least)

 

Yes. Unload your toolbox and that gas can first. Also measure when your tank is closer to empty. Also, try measuring hub to fender, rather than ground to fender, to eliminate tire inflation as a factor. Also, go measure it on a dead-level concrete pad, like at a gas station.

Yes, they are side-specific. OP, just double-check this to be sure.

Also, during a Wheelers group buy a while ago, someone did get a bum leafpack, and I believe Wheeler's replaced it, but you have to eliminate everything else and be sure before you pursue that path.

 

I've tried it all... sometimes I'll see a 1/2" fluctuation, of course, on different surfaces, level or not. but the differences from wheel-to-wheel-to-wheel-to-wheel are always relativeley consistant. Just annoys me that the front passenger is so high.....

 

Oooh, good catch.

But wouldn't preloading one side more than the other screw the alignment?

And on that note, OP, have you had an alignment recently?

 

That's something I pointed out earlier, too. wear, pressure.
