I just noticed yesterday that my 60 seems to lean slightly (1/4"-1/2") on the passenger rear side. It is fully-fueled right now, and I am wondering if that has something to do with it since I have never noticed it before. I checked tire pressure, and they are all equal. The cargo area is empty as well, so I don't have anything in the truck that is causing this.

Any ideas?
 
The cruiserlean is so common that some spring/lift manufacturers make the spring packs beefier on one side than the other side to compensate for the "lean".

If you just lay your seat back real far and put your right hand on the left side of the steering wheel this will compensate fr the lean as well.
 
I had the same problem on my 87 but on the left side. The problem turned out to be the rear shock tube. My truck has about a 3/4 inch lean to the left. The shock tube had rusted to the point the metal lost its strength and bent.
 
Mine sat perfectly level after I put in the Add-A-Leafs.......for about a week. Now it leans almost 1/2" to the left. I've debated swapping the springs from side to side to see if that was in fact the cause of the lean.
 
I though mine leaned becasue of my Fat A$$...:grinpimp:
