Do i have air ride suspension?

[Broncosbp]

Hey guys. Quick question. 1997 explorer Eddie Bauer V8 fully stock. How do I know if I have the air ride suspension. Also when the truck is parked and Im looking at the back of it its tilted pretty hard towards the drivers side. Can't really notice anything when Im driving it though. Thanks in advance. You guys amaze me with your knowledge and dedication to these vehicles

Open your rear glass, on the left side, you'll see the service panel with two clips/knobs depending on year, take it off, the clips pull out, and your switch would be located in there, along with the jack, jack handle etc. What you're experiencing is the "gangsta lean" the older 2nd gens seem so show more than the later ones, or at least from experience locally, that's how it is. There's threads on here about the lean.

Good info above. Or just look for air lines connected to your rear shocks. Search, MANY Air Ride Control (ARC) threads. Here's just one:
