WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1984 Ford Pickup, 1984 Ford Cab & Chassis, and 1984 Ford Bronco. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check riding height as shown in Fig 1 . On F Series, make sure that riding heights are set so that left side riding height is 3/8" higher than the right side riding height.
On F Series 4WD and Bronco models, make sure that riding heights are within 3/16" of each other. If riding heights are not within specifications, correct heights by re-distributing load on vehicles or slightly loading empty vehicles on one side. If riding heights cannot be brought to specifications, verify correct spring installation.

NOTE: For Fig 1 , the axle gap is measured from the rubber spring stopper and the top of the lower control arm.
