truck leaning?

[Mactruck]

I installed a pair of Pro-flaps on my truck and when I stood back to see if they were straight I noticed my truck had a lean towards the drivers side in the rear. Broke out the tape measure and sure enough 1 1/2 inches lower on the drivers side. This seems like it is only the rear springs and not the front #ad
.

Anybody ever come across this? I only have 6000+ miles on it.

I just got my Reunel rear bumper in and I dont want to mount it until I talk to the dealer. (so they dont say it's the bumper's fault. )

Funny thing; I just noticed the same problem this week. Front of bed and front end measurements are within 1/8", but the measurement at the center of the wheel wells is 3/4" off and it grows to 1 1/4" at the bumper. Drivers side is lower. Fuel will cause a little of this, but I have just 1/2 a tank now. I guess I've screwed up the springs with my giant camper and the occasional load of gravel. I notice that the space at the end of the short leaf spring and the full length springs is about 1/4" different. Not sure what I'll do about this. Probably nothing! I can use the 'Air-Lifts' to even it out when the camper is on.

I had the same issue when I bought mine... DC just said it's "in spec".

I had the same problem with my 1999 Ram 1500 gasser. From behind it looked like it was leaning heavily to the left. Dodge dealer said it was only 1/2" out and the industry standard is 3/4".

I was also told it could be because the truck was chained down too tight on the hauler and it would go away.

I didn't like the look of this so it is one of the reasons I sold it and got the CUMMINS. If it matters my leaning truck was made in Mexico.
