With good body mount bushings, springs, spring bushings and shackles, there is no reason a truck should lean. At least not as mush as 1"+. Unless it is actually weighted heavier on one side, or something is on the chassis is bent.

If it sat level on the jack stands then the only remaining factors are the wheels and tires.

The other puzzling thing to me is that there is no factory 3/4 ton truck (or 1 ton for that matter) with a 14 bolt that has the the same spring perch distance as a 71.
