Default 2013 Ram 1500 Crew has driver side Lean!?!

I noticed while looking at my new truck purchased not even 2 weeks ago that the truck leans towards the driver's side. I have heard of this problem with the older model and 4x4 with lift kits but not a new 2wd. Its a Ram 1500 Crew Cab. I might be seeing things or It could have a lean. Anyone have this problem? Taking it to dealer soon but doubt they will be any help

This my fourth RAM since 2005, and everyone has done that to date, including my 2013. It maybe the extra weight from the fuel tank, being located on the drivers side. My brother-in-laws, my fathers, and several friends of mine who all own fourth generstion RAM's have the same "slight" 1/2" lean. The optional HD coils for the 1500 may have resolved this lean.

1/2" lean, I would not be concerned about, especially with gas tank being on driver's side. Atomic, I would assume the old boy ain't sitting in his truck while it leans... Anyway, I'd rather it lean on driver's side since roads are kind of tilted to the right. To me, that kind of makes a bit of sense.

Default Spring seat

I bought a '13 Express reg cab 2 months ago that leaned to the passenger side. I went underneath and saw that the driver's side front spring was not in it's seat. The dealership set it in place today and the truck sits level.
