    so far just steel wheels for winter
    Getting ready to tow the trailer, finally. Getting air adjustable spring helpers in the rear end. So the next question is where to best establish level. I've tried all over the truck with a small bubble level but nothing is level.

    Anybody found a good reference point?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    take measurements from the wheel hubs to the top of the fender and compare front to back.

    My truck had to be level for checking the ATF level procedure. All of the videos said to check level on a frame rail and cross member. With about an inch of rake, my truck sits dead level.

    Eyeballing it should get you close enough. If you really want to measure, I’d use the method suggested by @frichco228 or just throw a level along the bed rail.
