    This guy at work has a 99 4wd ranger and during the winter I guess he had his bed full of gravel for some reason. Anyways as I look at his truck now the driver side has about a 3" gap between the tire and rear fender well and the passenger side has maybe 1" of a gap. We looked for a broken leaf spring and it wasnt broke and his shock is in pretty bad condition. So what can be his problem? Could his rear end be twisted or his frame bent? I never seen anything like this before its bad lol.

    I have heard of the ranger lean, but not that bad. Did you guys check the body mounts and the frame, shackles and hangars? Can you get pictures?

    I'll load some pictures up after work. I don't think body mounts would cause this he says when he goes over 45 the truck drives sideways

    Sounds like a saggy leaf spring to me. OR a broken shackle/hanger. Frames dont just "bend"
     
  9. rotted frames do bend I have only seen one while living in Missouri
