Default Uneven stance (not front to back)

Just got my 04 Ram 1500 QC a couple weeks ago. I noticed today that the driver side is lower to the ground than the pass side. It is 1 inch lower on driver than pass measured from ground to fenderwell lip. I measured front and rear, both are almost dead on 1 inch.

Is this normal? It only has 33K miles.

Your tire pressures equal?

I can't comment on the Dodge, but the 04+ Ford F-150 don't sit level, front is lower than the rear, all the 06 Rams I looked at before deciding on a 2500 all looked to be level..

thats engine weight dude, nothing to do with the construction of the truck dude. I still think that they would look badass if they were leveled out but they need the extra rear height to allow the suspension to take weight.

Did you have a full tank of gas???

if you think about it measure with a full tank, and then again with an empty tank.

30 gallons would be about 220 extra pounds hanging on th left side of the frame.

Just a thought... I have not measured mine, but now I think I am gonna, just to check it out.

Mine was off like that only more in the front than in the rear. I adjusted the torsion bars and straightened it out.
