Measured from the frame, just behind the bump stop (above the axle/spring pack), to the center line of the axle on both sides. The left/drivers side is 1/2" lower than the passenger/right side. I then looked at the spring leafs, shackles, mounts, hardware, bushings, etc. for damage. Found none! The spring pack on this rig is the HD tow package option....large/thick lower leaf, 3 leaf pack and the upper factory helper/overload leaf that has the frame mounted bump stops fore & aft. All looks great like this beaut was a garage queen by the PO. bathroom lighting I do know that it wasn't taken off road agressively, but they did tow a small horse trailer, utilizing the factory reciever hitch, "ford" trailer plug and the factory installed Kelsey trailer brake controller.
I've also checked all the bed cross sills and mounts, piano lamp which are also in great shape.
Now, I know it needs shocks (quad set up...ouch $$$$ LOL), but it rides fairly well (like a truck with quad's-lol) and the front end is level/even to the ground. The radius arm bushings are good as are the pivot bushings up front. lava lamp It steers straight as an arrow and brakes straight also. The only thing not stock is the 31x10.5/15's which the PO put on to replace the OE P265/75r/15's which are the same size....with in a fraction of an inch.
