M1009 sitting uneven.

Hi All,

I've tried looking for this but no hits on "lopsided olive green beast) came up in search

For some reason my passenger side is about an inch or so lower than my drivers. Doesn't seem to effect anything, but it's always been like this. I replaced all the shocks, still the same. The leafs don't seem out of the ordinary (no cracks, not nothing). It's really noticeable from the rear of the truck, not so much from the front.

I know on my old truck (one of them, either my diesel LUV or the ford, I forget which one) I could adjust the ride height slightly to even out situations like this. Any idea how I can get rid of the lean and is it an indication of something wrong? It's always been like this, so it's nothing particularly new, I'm just slowly working through the list.

Sounds typical. Measure each corner at the bumpstops to figure out what corner is lowest and by , how much. Sometimes the springs just settle diffferently or bad bushings cause a loss of height. If the front bumpstops measure equal between both sides and the rear does too, look for frame issues or missing/rotted body mounts.

Are all the tires the inflated the same?

 

[pidgeon]

tires are all inflated the same. I'll check the bumpstops in the AM.

 

[pidgeon]

It seems to be worse in the back. I have one 6tl and one non-6tl which was substantially lighter. Good thing I'm chubby and drive.

Maybe the former owner had a fat GF......that has been known to cause a list to starboard.

Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin' world go round
Hey
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery, huh
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me

You guys can't be dumb enough to think that the batteries are the reason for the lean, can you?! What happens when you have a passenger in the passenger's seat? Does the truck flip over. Did you all take the short bus to school?

Dang GR you were in rare form last night........brutal

Now I'm just waiting on somebody to say yes they did ride the short bus, and that their favorite flavor of window is cherry.

Might have belonged to the 300+ pound female active duty major I saw in Iraq. And people complain about the Guard.

And I was not a fan of the cherry ones, I liked strawberry.

Do they make a breathalyzer switch for keyboards, like the ones the court puts in your cars?

Valid question DH, perhaps it could be part of the site login process

 

[pidgeon]

a. Yes, they do make a breathalyser switch:

b. There is obviously no way 100 lbs of batteries couldn't cause the lean, but, I figured being polite to the slow kid wouldn't cause any harm.
