Passenger side lower than driverside

[Jrdesigns]

I am in need of some help! for the duration of my project the tires have been missmatched in size. The front passenger side was a smaller trailer tire than the old mud grips. So its always leaned. Well today was the day the body and frame was mounted back together and i put my new tires and rims on it. STILL LEANING! its about a 3/4 inch lean to the passenger side. What gives? I cant tell what is causing this to happen. weak suspension maybe?

hmmm that is a possibility but even at the rear its still sloping to the passenger side

It will be more obvious in the rear because the radius arms connect to the frame so far back...
Classic issue.

There's a lengthy thread about this issue, from a couple of days ago.

But first and foremost, measure between the axle tubes and the frame to make sure it's the suspension that's leaning.
Naturally that's the most likely thing, but it's not the only thing that can make them lean. I'm guessing you put new body bushings on, since you had the body off, but if they're not all torqued exactly to the same height, some of your lean could be coming from there.
You'll see that in the bumper gaps of course, but in case you hadn't looked there I figured I'e mention it.

Did you install new C-bushings? Did you lube them and put them on by sequencing the bolts down to keep things even?

Good luck. Hope it's something simple.

do you have the engine and tranny back in it?

We put new c bushings in three years ago and from the sounds it probably is the problem.
And yes drivetrain is installed

I just ran into your dad at the Advanced Auto Parts in Ridgeland while I was out in my Bronco. Good luck with the remaining build. Paint looks really good

lol I sent you a Facebook message. Wouldn't mine checking yours out one day

Well one side was in upside down

Wouldn't be the first time... Probably won't be the last that we hear that discovery.
I've even seen them all in backwards/upside-down even after multiple checks to make sure they were going in correct!

Glad you found it, because even if you still have a lean at the very least you'll improve your caster numbers.
