    Hey TDUB......so i know this has been discussed at nauseum but the lean I have read about has been mostly around 1/4”.

    When I got my 2019 OR DCSB it was even side to side.
    Have had it for 5 weeks now and side to side the front varies by 1/4” and the rear by 1”!
    And at 5’8” 170lbs, im not a huge guy......What gives?

    In the front i can do 1.5 turns of the kings and I should be good.
    But what do you guys recommend to fix the rear?
    Stack 2 of the 1/2” leaf shims or put a 1” block or?

    Thanks in advance!

    Rear is stock, which baffles me even more.

    When you turn your left front up, the right rear will go down.

    Ah thats an interesting thought.
    But do you think it will correct for an inch of difference?

    Or should I plan on it cutting the inch in half and the correct the rest of it with a 1/2” leaf shim?

    Crank the king up first so front is level to what you want it. Measure back and see if it's close enough for you. Should be real close. Then you can decide, if you want to do anything about it.

    Taco lean. From your extra gas tank weight. Dont sweat it, they're throw away trucks anyhow.

    They all do it.

    Just carry your recovery gear on the pax side to even it out. :thumbsup:

    You called it!
    Leveled the fronts side to side and now the rear difference is only 1/2”.
    Thanks for the knowledge na8trboy!
