1996 xlt leaning

[tweet02]

My 96 is leaning bad on the drivers side, I thought it was my rear shock that had gone bad, but its something on the whole drivers side of my truck. Anybody have any clue as to what the problem is, and what I can do to correct it? Its not just my rear end leaning, the front driver side is leaning as well. Any help would gladly be accepted, thank you in advance!

The ex has problems with spring leaf "sag"... basically, they weaken with time results in sag to the driver's side and also to the back end "dragging" a bit. Check your leaf spring to ensure a leaf hasn't broken. I think people usually replace or add a leaf to help the situation.

adjust the torsion bars and see if possibly your rear end springs need to be replaced (or adjusted with an add-a-leaf). If you do adjust the torsion bars up front, get an alignment soon afterwards
