Put truck in reverse in my driveway and back left corner dips down

[special K]

Hi all, when I put my truck in reverse in my driveway, I can feel the back left corner of my truck dip down, like the shock is dropping. I usually only feel this in my driveway, which is odd cause I feel like my driveway is level? Is this normal? Thanks

Which side are you referring to when you say back left? I always thought my Raptor leaned a bit towards the driver side. Then I saw a post on FB Raptor group about a dude taking his in to dealer for that very reason. So I went out and measured from the bottom of the wheel well to the top of the tire and sure enough it was a 1 and 1/2 inch difference between driver side and passenger side (I know now i should have measured from center of wheel, I will do that next time).

Researching the issue does indicate a certain amount of lean is expected with a full tank (mine was completely full at the time) on reg F150s and it’s slightly worse w Raptors soft suspension. I do reverse it in my driveway. If what you say is true I wonder if I am experiencing that too.... As you can see I’ll really not too worried about it, but I am going to bring it up to dealer when I do next oil change.

Its the drivers side that feels like the back end drops, almost if I was on an air ride suspension and let air out, but its only on the drivers side when I put in reverse and start moving.

Mine does the same thing every time I back out of my garage. I've only noticed in my garage and assumed it was due to the fact that there is a cone in my garage to ensure I don't pull in a smidge too far and tap a slab of granite stored there.

Its because of the opposing shocks and the torque the transmission is applying to the diff.

Normal. They all do it.

My 2019 does the same thing

This is a design of the active shocks. Nothing to be concerned with.
