Default Something that's just been bothering me

It's probably nothing (I hope) but for a long time my truck hasn't sat level like from side to side. The passenger side has always sat just a little bit lower than the drivers side. It really annoyed me at first but after the lift it seemed to go away but now its back (or never left). It sits about a quarter inch lower on the passenger side. Anyone know what it could be?

Well if you had the IFS and torsion bars I'd say adjust them, but 2WDs have the solid front axle, correct? How old are the shocks?

my driver side is marginally lower than the passenger. I figure a tank of gas is pretty heavy and a heavy driver doesnt help either

I've got the same issue, but my driver side is about an inch lower. Wasn't there before I changed lifts last year, and wasn't there right after lift was installed. I just figured something on the driver's side settled quicker than the other side. All new shocks, coils, and leafs so I give up. Everyone else thinks I'm nuts, but I can eyeball the difference.

Yea exactly Pitbull! One me and my one other friend have noticed it which I guess is good but bothers the crap outta me. And I'm pretty sure I don't have a SFA, I'm pretty sure its IFS but the shocks came with the lift kit but it was used. I know its not the shocks though because I had the same problem before the lift. So I guess it might be something with the body or the frame? If anything I might look into those height adjustable shocks for the front end when its time for these white bodies to go.

I had the same problem with my last dodge which was a 2007 2dr. I always wondered what the problem with it was and just couldn't figure it out. My dad just thought me and my friends got drunk and jumped around on it like it was a trampoline ha.
