Jeeper's F350 'Bagheera'
- Thread starter jeeper
- Start date
Old gasoline, paint, other potentially hazardous household liquids that I can’t think of at the moment, too.
My Colorado will soon be up for sale and the F350 will be come my only personal vehicle. I’m trying to give it a little love in preparation.
I’d like your thoughts on some side sag it has. The driver rear sits about an inch lower than a the passenger rear. When loaded, the difference goes away.. but when empty is easily noticeable.
Is this a worn spring? Solve it with new springs? air bags?
Anyone had something similar?

If one side of the rear suspension hardware (leaf spring and shackle bolts) got tightened down while the suspension was in droop vs. the other side being tightened while the suspension was under load it could act like this. Loosen the rear spring eye and both shackle bolts on both sides of the truck to let the bushings "relax", then tighten all bolts while the truck is sitting on the ground (suspension loaded with truck weight).

Is this while you are sitting in the truck chubby? Mine does the same thing when I am sitting in it. Not really, I just wanted to call you chubby. I had an Ford Exploder that did the same thing. It was worn out saggy spring.
I knew some Ahole would say it.
My brother had a truck in high school that leaned to the passenger side. He always blamed it on his ‘ex-girlfriend’.
British sports car guys call it "the bachelor lean".
AAA spring in SLC has historically been the cheapest and fastest option for getting springs replaced on our fleet trucks. Even buying the parts they've come in really close to other places I've priced in the past. They can also re-arch your existing springs to get things even fairly inexpensive if needed.

You could swap the leaves and lean the other way.

If he leaned the other way he'd have to buy a KTM

If he leaned the other way, and had an orange bike, he could get rid of that rainbow flag
I really didn't think a simple question about a truck would result in soooo many insults my way.

Insults? We were just T-ing up the blue crew commentary for you.
If the sag bothers you, I'd swap the springs and see if it tracks with the spring, then replace the sagging one. The fuel tank is on the drivers side, does it change with a full tank vs 1/4? That is a couple hundred pounds.
