I have a 90 E.B. edition fullsize bronco. I did a solid axle swap with 79 bronco axles and then peiced a lift kit together to clear 39.5s. I put a shackle flip and a 3" add a leaf in the back and some 6" deaver superflex coils in the front. Now for some reason the front is leaning to the passenger side. I tried swapping the springs and even the coil plates on the axle and nothing has worked. I really need some help on this cause my brain has all but overheated and oozed out of my ears over this problem. And this thing didn't lean before the swap and lift.

Did you swap the trac-rod as well ? If the body is being pulled over to the passenger side then it's most likely a problem with that. When you swapped the axle did you use an adjustable trac-rod or a trac-rod drop bracket ? The trac-rod mount is cast into the passenger side C-bushing wedge assembly so it should still be there unless you fabricated the bushing wedges. The amount of lift you have might exceed the adjustability of the bar (assuming you have an adjustable one) and what you'd need if that's the case is a combination of both adjustable rod *plus* drop bracket but either way that's where I'd start looking because the problem you're describing is typically associated with the trac-rod. If you look at the coils themselves you'll probably notice that they're bowed (the passenger coil seems to show it more for some reason) Since the 80-96 didn't have or use a trac-rod you would have had to relocate or fabricate the frame bracket and since the frame contours are also a bit different I'm guessing there's a better than average chance that the bracket was mounted too high up on the frame. This will effectively make the trac-rod too short and "pull" the axle towards the driver's side making it appear that the passenger side of the truck is leaning. Lower the bracket or extend the rod to center the axle.

It doesnt have an adjustable track bar. I just used the one that came on the axle and then made a bracket to attach it to. That makes sense that it might be too far over and pulling the axle. I will get an adjustable track bar and see if that helps. I have the money for it now but i didnt when i built it. Thanks a lot for the help man.
