    So I just noticed today after unhooking a light camper, that the back of my truck is not level. The right side is sitting lower than the left. When I measured, the clearance from top of tire to top of wheel well was obviously different. Thoughts??

    Are your shackles binding on the low side or anything? Look under the truck and see if they’re about the same angle. That’s a big difference. I think my truck differs about a half inch.

    It's good
    I was surprised to see how much rear lean I had in my driveway. When I took it to completely level ground, sides were the same. Your front can affect your back as well, depending on suspension and the ground in the front.

    Yeah less than an inch wouldn’t bother me much but this I can see with my eye is way off.

    Make sure you are actually on level ground. If still way off (inch or more) then have the dealer check it, if something is amiss they will fix your 21 under warranty.

    Take a look under the truck and make sure your shackles are more vertical than horizontal. If the rear leaf eye is contacting the frame, something is not right.

    Also, never measure from the tire itself, measure from the hub.

    Did you ever figure out if/what the problem was? I just realized the same thing on my 2018.

    Could not agree more with that statement sometimes you don't realize how uneven things are and that can effect the height
    Drastically I have a lowered car and lifted truck and my driveway shows on both those vehicals the side to side difference
