Titan Frame problem - Page 2

jaimr · 08-29-2005, 09:17 AM

The truck setting that way is normal. My Titan and Tundra are both that way and my friends F150 is also. The springs on a truck are not the same on both sides. They offset the spring weight to comensate for the weight of fuel and driver.

well i don't think some of you understand what it is. if you are at the back of the truck looking at the back window, the bed is not level with the cab, i took measurments on the frame and springs and the right side is higher than the left side, in back by about an inch and in the front by about an 1/8 of an inch, that tells me that something in the back of the truck is wrong. by the way the body is also off right to left, front too back. the rear wheelwells are off by about 1.25 of an inch. both rear spring have been replaced by the dearler and that didn't fix it. they want to try and shim the bed and adjust the bumper to make it look level, but thats not fixing the problem.

Aside from installing a lift/levelling kit, has anyone been able to correct this issue? Mine sits about 1" lower on the driver's side as well.

Are you sure this is the problem?

I have noticed the same thing on my truck.
Thanks for your info and how did you get this problem solved?

i have not had this issue fixed yet! dealer has no clue what to do next. and i don't know what to do next either, i was hoping someone here might of found a fix. went to a body shop and to have it put on a frame rack it's going to cost about $250 to $600 to maybe find a problem, they can't be sure just by looking at it, would take at least half a day to a full day on the rack.
