Truck leans

Just like the title says. My truck sits 1/2'' lower on the passanger side in the rear, and a 1/4'' lower in the front on the passanger side. Its noticeable to me beacuse I have measured it and I know its off. What could I check for, to find the problem? thanks!

Nothing. It's normal.

If it really bothers you, you could shim up the leafs and springs on the low sides.

Maybe it's Gators old truck

His two little friends (and I do use the word EXTREMELY LOSELY) seem to have a habbit of wearing out the pass side suspension for some reason

If I were President, I would issue an executive order criminalizing the manufacture of bikinis in "plus" sizes.

Mine is the opposite side in the rear and it sits 3/4" lower which I attribute to the gas tank being mostly on that side and usually an almost "full" tank of gas! I have the 3" rear drop shackles.

My truck sits a good 3/4 " lower on the RR than the LR with a full tank of gas. I guess over the years the racing has got to her

You could try Airlift Bags (Rear Suspension) They will help level it out and when you have loads just not extreamly heavy loads like above you can increase the preasure so you don't sag like above... BUT you might want to check and see if anything in the rear is tweaked from racing. That has been known to happen from time to time...
