It is called the Ranger lean. The battery, gas tank and driver are all on one side. There is more weight there, so that is why it leans

Check your door tag and get the codes. There's a couple threads that can tell you which code is what.

open the drivers door and look for the sticker on the front side of the rear door (covered when drivers door is closed) and look for your bar code.

Not really, they are just a "softer" bar, so to speak.

The coding goes like this
Stiffer - - - - Softer
