    Hey Guys,

    Brand new 2021 SR5. Noticed in the driveway the other day that the rear right seemed to be sitting low. My brother pointed it out today and I measured it. No the driveway isn't level. Nevertheless, the rear right is 1.25 inches lower with the truck pointing both ways. It's nothing I've added. There doesn't seem to be any issue underneath. I will measure more specific frame and spring points when I get to a level place. And yes, I will be taking it back to the shop. Just wondered if anyone has any helpful non mister obvious ideas? Ever had a spring out of tolerance? Thanks.

    The stock suspensions do not have the same springs on each side to account for the gas tank weight when full. Ive not heard of this significant a difference however, but i would start there and investigate

    Interesting. So, a gallon of gas weighs 6.3 lbs. I have the small tank at 26.4 gallons. That is 166.32 lbs full vs empty. I will give you credit if that is it. The tank is on the driver's side. I'll fill it up and see. It was at 3/8's of a tank. I'll not be holding my breath...lol But thanks for the input.
