Driver side lean

Hey guys my 1998 F150 if you look at it from the rear it looks like it is leaning towards the drivers side. It looks ok frokm the front and the bed is parrellel to the rear window. Now I recently added a lift, ie. new suspension and spings hoping this would probably fix it but no luck. The only thing I can think is that maybe my leafs are more worn on the drivers side? Would years of only having myself (255lbs) driving it and the fuel tank being on that side wear this side more than the other?

Thumbs up

You could swap the rear leaf springs right to left and maybe front shocks as you and the 27 gallons of fuel likely would help level it .....

..... or get a heavier girl friend .... or maybe two?

Yes the gas tank over a long period of time would definitely cause it to settle more on one side than the other, I'm starting to notice it on my truck now too. Tip of advice if you don't want it to get worse be like me, a poor college student who doesn't keep more than 10 gallons of gas in my truck because it cost too much haha.

Maybe that's why I never notice the sag on mine. haha There's never more than a half tank in mine.
