Raptor Lean

[Mjolnir]

I have all the mods you can do, and still get that droop every once in a while.

the driver side has the gas tank and the driver on it so it will sit lower.

My solution? I had the driver side leaf spring arched with an extra inch of arch in it to over-ride the droop

I too got tired of looking at it, and arched my driver's side spring higher when I went with Nationals. I believe TMX has a much easier solution in the works.

all ford trucks have the lean. even my ranger. the raptor seems to have it more noticeable though, due to the suspension.

Look at it with an almost empty tank then fill the tank and take another look! It's the fuel tank and if you have the screw with a 36 gallon tank then it's gonna put more weight on te driver side..

It's around a 215lb difference full tank to empty tank. Some guys even it out real good with their girlfriends riding shotgun. ;-)

Well I can understand that to a point. How many people have brought it up to ford? Has anyone heard SVTs reply to the issue. Is that also the reason why the bed where it meets the cab dosent look even with back window? Oh I noticed the lean with no on in truck and 1\4 tank.

Mine leans to the passenger side a about a half inch.

Just go out and jump it, hammer it down the dirt roads, put some rock chips, pin stripes etc on it. When you're done doing that you won't even notice a slight lean! Unless you blew a rear shock jumping it. Have fun!

It's the full fuel tank. Nothing to worry about. I would not get another spring thrown in the pack. If it really really really bothers you, look into getting the left spring pack re-arc'd only that 1" to make the difference. My truck has that lean too. Even the brand new concrete that my truck sits on is kinda sinking on the drivers side because of the drivers side being heavier.

Wow, I have never noticed this on my Raptor when just sitting still. I did get like a half a foot of air once and my gun and all my loose bullets went everywhere. My wife was on the passenger side and face planted the roof ( the speed was expected the "jump" was not ) when I hit the ground on the driver side first I was like, damn I must be fat.

She was like " don't do that again unless I have my seatbelt on" ...we driving slow on a forest road and I got on it not realizing she wasn't buckled.

True story.
