2011 Ranger Super XLT 2WD LEAN!

[PermanentWAR87]

I have a 2011 Ranger Super Cab XLT and it is leaning to the left. I took it to the dealership and they swapped the leaf springs from the left to the right and vice-a-versa and said that it fixed the lean. I got my truck out and it looked better, got it home and noticed the lean again. I took it back to the dealership and it went from a 3/4" lean to the left to a 1" lean to the left. I talked to the service manager and he told my service associate to order just the left leaf spring and to replace it, ONLY the left. This is after they just swapped the leaf springs... I told him that didn't make sense but he did it anyway, I'll let them do this because the Lemon Law will come into effect if they cannot fix it. Does anyone on here think that could actually fix the problem or is it as obvious to me as to you that is not the problem? I appreciate all comments ahead of time, thanks.

the lean could be caused by the leafs but on a vehicle as new as yours it shouldn't happen what kind of front suspension do you have??

The suspension is stock from the day I bought it.

I have the same problem. I looked around on the web and it seems that this is a common problem for Ranger, they call it "the Ranger Lean". Im not happy about it, it has been going on since 1993 and by now you would think Ford had a solution to the problem.

Mine is a 2011 Supercab XLT as well and it leans 1.25 inches on the drivers side when the gas tank is full and 1 inch when on about a 1/4 of tank...

I called the Dealer and they said they never heard of it. I'm taking it in to the service department tomorrow, will let you know how it turns out.

Go measure a couple of new Rangers at the dealer... for some reason they just about all lean. My '00 leaned when I got it, and I put softer springs in the front for a smoother ride and when I did I cut an inch off one of the springs and now she rides level.
