Well, I'm not for sure, but. A while back, i noticed my shocks were like that, they swayed on a turn, and when i pushed down on a fender it wouldn't take much for it to bounce ya know. So i figured it was time for shocks, so i got new Rancho RS 5000's all around, and i noticed a big handleing difference and alot better on bumps. And by the way, my truck had factory shocks on it, with 145,000 miles! :p 145,000 ROUGH miles...

typically no, shocks wouldn't cause something like that. More likely caused by a weak spring. Is the truck a 150 or more. The 250s have a tendancy to lose the arch in the springs and cause the wheel tilt like you say. I am not to famillier with the littler trucks. hope it helps

I run Skyjacker Nitros and Hydros......great shocks and they only cost around $30-$40.

The wheel leans or the truck leans? Leaning wheel could be caused from bad ball joints or weak springs. I doubt bad shocks would cause any kind of lean. If the whole truck leans, I would assume springs.

My was leaning after new springs, shocks, it was a bad rubber body mount. Check these out as well.
