Couldbelower we were talking the other day about the lean on my mazda, how much dose yours lean? Do you have a fbss set-up on your truck?
couldbelower   +1y
yeah it seems that your lean is from not having everything lined up perfect during the time you cut out your rear frame and put in the notch..because of that it looks like you have a lean when everything seems toi be measuring up right...i seen that happen to an s10 and to fix it we just shimmed the bed floor with some washers in that particular corner and redrilled for the bumper but if u have a roll pan u dont even have to do that...

low99maz, the Ranger bushings are not in line like most trucks, they are at an angle, sort of like frontier lower arms.

the poly bushings will wear in and stop wearing quickly. add some grease or light oil for the first few weeks of driving.

poly bushings also dont last as long as stock rubber. expect to change them every couple of years. some trucks alot less and some a little more. it depends on the angle and amount of bushing travel.

Couldbelower I thought about that also, but I would have to raise the bed on one side and lower the bumper on the other. I think that i might just redo the rear clip of the frame. Mike thanks for the reply, but i think the spacing in the middle of the two mounting points is wrong you might want to check it out.

yeah i guess it is hard to say exactly whats wrong without seeing it but a new rear clip would solve any problems of the sort.....are u running byc arms?
