Driver Side Sitting Lower Than Passenger Side.

The EcoBoost trucks lean the most, but they all do some and it is by design. Ford compensated for the increased torque on the drive shaft. You probably only notice it when your truck is parked, right? Once you step on the accelerator and the drive shaft spins, the truck levels out.

It is optical illusion. It appears that the bed of the truck is crooked and some of you guys go to the dealer to level the bed of the truck by inserting the washers between the bed and the frame of the truck. It is noteasy to find a root cause to the problem but a lot of F-150 trucks have rear window installed off to one or the other side making bed of truck look like is sitting crooked. In order to fix the problem you have to reposition rear window frame/seal and not to shim the bed of the truck. My window is crooked and I am not happy but I decided to drive the truck the way it is.

It has been awhile since I first discovered my truck leans. I don't care as much as I did. I did notice when I had the back of the truck jacked up the leaf spring pack looks worn the hell out on the drivers side. The passenger side leaf pack all looks like a U and formed to each other. The driver side looks a lot visually flatter and not formed with the top spring. I think it's so it's smoother ride for the driver. Who knows but the driver spring doesn't look anything like the passenger side. I'm tempted to drive the truck to a local shop and tell them to flip flop the springs. I know I will get a funny look if I say to do that.

I know this is an old thread but I just bought a 2011 F150 with the 6.2L. I have had it two months now and noticed it is starting to lean towards the drivers front. It is very noticeable as my wife even said something about it and she doesn't spot the obvious at all. Has anyone come up with a solution to resolve this or is my front drivers spring just starting to sag?

Ignoring the wild theories above, how could it be anything but suspension related? I suppose in the rear the bed could be loose or something, but chassis issue seems far less likely in the front.
