I have a 95 LTD w/ factory air shocks, It is leaning about 3/4" more on the drivers rear. I had the auto leveling system checked by the dealership and they are telling me that my air shocks and height sensors are fine. I have had it realigned, torsion bars adjusted to compensate and no fix. It has never been involved in an accident to make it do this, it has just done it over time. The truck is properly aligned and is not mis tracking but on level ground there is an obvious lean. I just don't know what do do next.

Thanks for any help.

Get an auto spring shop to re-arch your rear leaf springs back to factory specs. That should do the trick.
 






Or do what Ford does when someone comes in with the driver's side lean problem. Lower the front passenger side down a bit by backing off the torsion bar slightly. That will transfer the weight to the opposite corner.
 






Sounds to me, like your leaves are just suffering from the traditional ford sag... Get them re-arched. Probly both of them, so they are back, where they both should be.

Did you get the problem solved? I have a 95 limited with about an inch sag on the drivers side both front and back! It bugs the hell outta me I was planning on getting some new/used springs for the back and just adjust the torsions in the front. I haven't taken it to the dealership yet so I'll do that first to see if its just a leveling sensor. Any other sugg? Thanks.
 






Be very carefull they don't just "shift the weight" because then your truck will be driving very unballanced.
