Default leaning to left?

So when I bought my truck it was leaning to the right a bit. Figured it was the shot suspension, however couple busy months ago I replaced the shocks and springs and it made no difference. Used brand new Terra firma parts and they were installed properly, and I didn't see anything damaged when I did the work. Any ideas? Lift was even all around, just left the lean, bout it 1" to the right.

Are any of your mounting location bent or out of spec? maybe a stupid question but are all of your tires the same size?

good luck

Like I said about 1" to the right, measuring top of tire to bottom of fender. All mounts looked fine, all tires the same. Only thing I can think is one side the body mounts are bad? Was parked a few years before I bought it in the California sun...

Isolaters in place in the rear, there's nothing up front, same side to side.

gotta be body mounts, then. nothing bent, all in place, same components left to right......nothing else in there. I think your right, it was just how it was stored....sun and weight to one side, perhaps.

You know the TF springs are side specific right? I'm sure you installed them correctly but I figured I'd mention it anyways. My truck leans passenger side since I bought it. The body mounts all look ok so I just threw a short spacer under the rear passenger spring. Leveled it right out.
