first of all hi everyone im a ranger newb! i noticed today that the cab on my truck sits over an inch lower on the driver's side. does anyone know what could cause that? maybe shocks i was thinking?

look underneath at the rear cab mount it is going to be rusty and broken, you need to replace it

are you talking about the mounts that are accesable from behind my seats thru the rubber bung? they seem to be in good condition, the truck has very little rust..

well yes but look at how it is on the frame, I have scene a few that have rusted rigth off the frame

there are alot of heavy things that are on the driver side. the battery, gas tank, brake booster, driver body weight, ect. my 95 sits an inch lower on the same side. you could try to get the leafspring dearched somewhat to level the rear out.

you did say the cab not the bed also right?

its the cab mostly. following the body line the cab is infact lower than the box on the drivers side. the box is also slightly lower on the drivers side, but most of the differance is with that cab..

look at your body mount

camkos · #9 06-16-2009, 05:21 PM

i didnt get a chance to take any pictures but i did take a measurement... from the bottem of the cabto the bottem of the cab mount bracket there is a differance of about an inch. would the cab mount compress over time from the battery, driver, and gas tank all being on that side? also the front drivers spring seems to be more compressed than the passenger sides.. the kicker is that it looks newer.

98blownranger · #12 06-18-2009, 05:42 AM

no the mount will NOT compress if you have more weight on one side, the leaf and coil spring would compress. maybe the mount was replaced and put in wrong??

camkos · #13 06-18-2009, 07:57 PM

on closer inspection the mounts are rotted. my appologies. do you kno a good source for replacments?

any body parts supply should be able to get one for you, if unable to find it stop at a body shop and they should be able to help you
