You may have to rebuild the front shocks. The 09 Assault came with air shocks - compressed air as the spring - and if they lost their air charge, the sag (droop) will occur. Find a good shock rebuilder and let them tune them up. Note too that lots of folks replaced the air shocks with good coil-over versions. Have fun, lots of the fun is the tinkering needed.

Do a search on "D8 leans to the left" it is a very common thing, there is nothing wrong with your new sled.
