Rangers had this issue horribly
I notice it very slightly on the raptor but nothing like before, barely notice it

If your truck is live valve maybe try resetting them with a fuel tank of gas

Lol. That would explain it perfectly if I was in the truck. It still leans when I’m out. Did I just permanently stretch the spring with my ***** weight?
I'm afraid it's already too late!! Seriously, I've seen a few guys post over the years with this complaint. Some seemed much more noticeable. I don't see it on my '20. I know a saw a few members blaming it on the fuel weight, but I don't know if that was actually the issue or not, I don't think it was. I regularly top mine off and I don't notice a lean.

How many miles, and have you owned it since new? If you got it used, somebody might have sacked one of your springs with a too heavy load. Here's the Ford procedure to check the lean, if it helps you.

I suppose the cheapest and most fun solution is to fling it off a jump that rotates your truck to the right. Rinse and repeat until it levels out. :) Then go buy new springs. :(

Here's another idea. Swap the springs from side to side. If the left side has taken a set, you might be back to level.

that would be a way to see if the fuel is cause if the lean, but not very feasible. I guess I could get it closer to empty and measure to see if it makes a change. Do you think something else is wrong or do others see this “unlevel” on their trucks?
Send pictures of the unlevel truck. Measure from the top of the rear wheel wells to ground
