Angry What the H*##!!!!

Air suspension has me buggered. All 4 corners rise and fall as they should. BUT, the passenger side leans a constant 2". Why does my Expy lean to starboard??? Ok, here's the scoop. 1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer, 4 corner air suspension. I have checked the entire system from compressor to rear shocks. All lines are free flowing. No blockages, no leaks at "t" unions or rear shocks or compressor. VERY minor leaks at both front shocks that I can live with. All four corners lift in all modes, kneel, trim and 4-low. All four corners lift the same amount. Have checked this several times per day, for over a week. Both ride height sensors work fine. BUT - passenger side is always 1 1/4" lower in front and 2" lower in rear. This remains constant in all modes. Since the truck is lifting, not sure that I should be worried. However, I do find myself concerned that with negative camber on the fornt end, I could be wearing my brand new tires out. What I want to do is level the truck from side to side. Is there a compensation valve or other adjustment. I cannot see one but I make an appeal to all the techs out there. The long post is due to detail. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I can't be of any help. Your best bet would be to drive to the closest shop and ask for an opinion. That too, is free. How do you like the ride of airbags? I think my next Superduty will be riding on airbags, of course it'll be lifted. I'm assuming these are not the airbags that "lower" your rig right?

is this a stock oem install have you tried swapping bags/shocks left to right to see if the problem follows also where exactly are the height sensors physically located
