    Hello all, I have a 2018 Tundra CM OR and looking at my flatbed yesterday it appears to be lower on one side by approx .25 inches. Anyone seen this before? If so, any suggestions on how to fix it? Truck has less then 10k miles on it...thinking of making a stink with the dealer (heads up they're total sceezeballs in Charlotte NC in case anyone was in the market) but wasn't sure if this was TT owners have seen before.

    Is this the drivers side? (Where the battery and fuel tank sit)

    Mine has about 1/2” lean to drivers side. I think most do. Without altering the suspension, you could add airbags.

    Take a measurement from the center of the hubs in the front. The driver side is probably lower. This causes the right rear to come up. Fix the front and it fixes the back. Have a shim installed in the front left.

    Yes when viewing from the back, the drivers side is slightly lower. Thanks all, I'll see what the shop can do about installing an insert to get it level.

    Lost track after #1.
    Lower all the tire pressures on the right side and drive from the passenger's seat.

    Install a welder on the passenger side of the bed. I mean, that’s what I would want.

    If it’s that bad, just add a shim
