I had one that leaned once, couldn't figure it out until a friend of mine looked at it, body mounts were shot put a new set in and lean was gone..

Kinda wish you didn't remind me that I need to replace mine... Lol

Now there was a time many years ago, that my buddy (yeah, I actually had one back then....). Anyways, he romped on the gas, and ended up tweaking the crap out of his RR spring. Looked like a huge "S". Front of the leaf raised, and the back lowered. He only had a mono leaf, so it was really obvious. Made the whole thing lean right. So, I'll take a guess its the leaf springs, like some of the other guys have. Time for a tape measure.....

if 2wd I know the 94+ s10s had to have a spacer added to the from coil on one side to make it sit even. Could be same problem or spring not sitting correctly in the perch of the frame.

If 4wd could be shackles sitting in different positions, bushings worn out, lift blocks put in wrong. The girl you pick up you are hiding from everyone else.
