Default Why does my truck lean to the drivers side?

My 95 f150 4x4 leans slightly to the drivers side, 1/4 inch at front wheel wells and 1inch at the rear wheel wells. Truck was bought new and never wrecked.

jimmy, Check your rear leaf spring hangers and shackles. My 1996 2wd drivers side hanger on the rear rotted away and the leaf was resting on the bottom of the bed.

As other said soft springs, or it's possible your front coil is broken, mine had a good chunk broken off it.

Put leveling coils in and nitrogen in the tires, still has lean. Is there any spacer I may have left out of the drivers coil? I need radius arm bushings, Could that be part of the problem? new rear springs are up next.

Radius bushings have to do more with steering then leaning, you may have broken leaf springs.
