my Exploder leans to the left ?

[Desert EX]

I have been reading the forum, but have not found a reason for my problem. 2 months ago I had 4 inch suspension lift installed. I have done some easy offroading with it. Now the truck is leaning. The shop that did the work replaced the bushing on the left shackle but the truck is the same. what do you guys think any input would be appreciated

You should find it under "left side lean"

It is from more weight there, driver and gas tank.
A quick fix is to swap your springs side for side. It is just that the driver`s side wears out first.

mine leans to the right on the front and rear...any suggestions for that

If it leans to the drivers side, its b/c of the gas tank and the constant weight of a driver, passanger side, I have no idea. Your coil spring must have settled more on the side that the other, try swapping springs from side side, both front and back.

Does it have an obvious lean? Reason being, I sometimes notice this on my truck but then I realized most of the time it is because of the uneveness on the road or of the parking lot. Just something to look out for.

First gen don`t have torsion bars.
I think the coils don`t wear as quick and the rears pull the front down too. Could always swap both. lotta work tho`

I checked with a level in the garage the slab was also level. Its a noticeable lean. about 1" difference When I took it on the trail I stuffed the left rear tire in the wheel well. Its a superlift leaf spring. Not sure if that would cause my problem i'm experiencing.thanx for all the replies everyone

Check all your body mounts. Has the X ever been in an accident? Sometimes installing a lift can amplify any problem with the frame that cannot be seen when at stock height. Just a thought....

I've got this problem too, after the 4" lift she leans a bit to the drivers side. With my kit the shocks and springs are all new so if it is the weight of the gas tank is there a good way to even things out on the 1st gens?

Why didn't it lean stock if it is the gas tank?
