@benz88 nice truck. Did you end up replacing the leaf springs? Did that level the truck from left to right. I've had the same issue. However I replaced the leaf springs first and it didn't do much. I'm probably going to replace the front coils next but trying to decide on some lowering options first. Thanks.

No I didnt. Its been stored since September cause snow up here. I Bed is off it and I added 2 inch drop shackles and custom underbed step notch. Also having a friend do new cab corners for me and he's respraying all the lower white sections after. Once the bed is back on i'll see how level it is. I dont want to spend money on new leafs since i'll be going 4 link and coils soon probably,

I took my bed off last week too. I found that the leaf spring front hangers are not positioned the at the same height relative to the top of frame rails on the left and right leaf springs. This results in one leaf spring being higher than the other and the truck being lower on the right. I plan to remove the hanger drill some new holes and remount it with bolts at the correct height to match the other side. Check your hanger and shackle brackets to see if they are at the same height left and right. Let me know what you find. Thanks!

they're at the same height. Im guessing the one leaf is abit more worn since its on the gas tank side. Ill see if the new shocks help too
