Front springs
i could have sworn that i have seen a post on hear about uneven front suspension but now i cant find it. has anyone had experience with this prob. my truck sits about 5/8 or so lower on the driver side and if you stand in front of it, it is noticable. if anyone has figured out what to do to fix it i would appreciate the help. im about to go to autozone and get a coil booster and throw it in there.

Mine is the same way.I bet the majority of trucks are uneven, people have never taken the time to notice and/or measure though.
Im not a heavy guy, and my truck is an 07, so I don't think I can blame it on me wearing it down. I think it might be due to the 26 gallon fuel tank being on the driver side of the truck. That is a lot of weight...
As far as a fix goes, I haven't looked into my options yet. It bothers me, but money is tight right now...

My guess would be from the fuel tank as well.

Plastic or metal, it doesn't matter. I don't think the tank itself is contributing to the issue. The 26 gallons of gas inside it, which is a couple hundred pounds when full; along with the driver comes to a lot of weight constantly on one side of the truck.

Agreed also, 1 gallon of fluid weights 7 lbs x 26 gals equals a lot of weight, with the human driving most of the time without passengers equals sag. The front view of this sag = Priceless. Originally Posted by 04sierracrewcab
