    So you are telling me that if I slam my hand above the frame rail and under the body panel near a mount, then compare it to the other side I can use that data to see from a preliminary standpoint if the body is leaning on one side? Maybe apply that same technique to an axle tube and bumpstop as...

    A two inch difference in one area you will easily be able to see with a tape or using your hand. Again, not building race cars here. You specifically have a tendency to write giant paragraphs filled mostly with 99% nonsense and maybe 1% of help. You can have a professional look at it but...

    Exactly! Why do we have to turn this into space shuttle engineering??? A few pictures would probably work because you can most likely see something odd with the frame, body to frame dimensions, or an axle close to a bumpstop to determine something that far out of whack. If you do have a flat...

    I would say lets just pump the brakes here and take a couple of quick measurements with a tape before we start doing frame straightening or lift kit installations. I feel IMO all of that is not good advice since no one has established an actual reason for the lean yet. Some pictures in key areas...

    Did you replace with new springs or used? You may want to take some measurements to see if the frame or body is lower on that side. You may have body mount issues if the springs are OK. Again, compare dimensions from one side to the next to see where the sag is occurring.
