Truck's Leaning to Driver's Side

The driver's side is 3/4" lower than the pass. side, evenly both front and back. I replaced the leaf springs all the way around w/ 2" Rough Counrty lift springs, but still the lean. I just replaced all 6 body mounts and still the lean. Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks, Chad.

My truck leans too. It even came with shims under the driver's side springs from the factory to try to level it out. My springs are old and tired but your new ones shouldn't do this. I'd complain to the manufacturer.

that is a well known problem with these trucks. it could be ant 20 gallons of gas in the tank that sits only on the drivers side.

For some reason I don't think that my wife would approve of that. Maybe I could just fatten her up?

My Blazer was leaning to the pass side when I got it. I installed a 2" Rough Country all spring lift, and it leveled it out.

I noticed on your website you put on 1.5" billet aluminum spacers for the rear wheels. Where'd you get 'em and how much? Nice Blazer. Thanks for your help, Chad.

Thanks for the compliment
