Replaced all springs and shocks and still leaning bad. I'm about to purchase new body mounts but is there anything else it could possibly be?

measure the distance from the frame to the ground at the lift points on the frame, near the rear of the front fender and near the front of the back wheel well. if it is the same height on both sides, then the body mounts are bad. Good luck.whitetrash_royalty said:
First pic can't notice the lean because the ground isn't level..second pic the PO had 2 sets of spring spacers in and I just removed them right before I put v8 springs in those pics are from 2 years ago..Its leaning to the left

First thing is to make sure the springs are seated on the top and bottom of all four springs, if the springs are not in their pockets it will definitely cause it to lean. You may have gotten the left side in but the right side is out of either the top or bottom on one or both right side springs. This will cause it to sit higher on the right side.
If all the springs are seated properly it could be the suspension bushings are torn or when the springs were installed in the control arms were not torqued with the car at ride height
Ok Ill check the seating of the springs in the morning. I'm new at this but after I installed the springs I was suppose to torque the control arms?
The OEM bushings in the control arms are part of the suspension. The bolts for the control arms need to be left untightened until the car is sitting with it's weight in the wheels. Then the bolts get tightened.
