    .85 in the back
    1.75 in the front
    Any idea why I looks like my truck is now leaning to the back?

    Check out my build
    You can't adjust rear shocks for height...
    So the rear is essentially stock height.

    Yup, which is why we're confused as to why it sits in what was described as a "good country boy lean", which fyi is the absolute last thing I want

    It's kind of tough to tell what the issue may be without more info. Pics would help, and front/back measurements as well.

    Measure from the center of your hub to the top of the fender well on all 4 corners and report back.

    Just assuming it was .85. They weren't adjustable
    Thinking it was the until shock of the newly found gap between fender to that wheel in front. In my typical knee jerk reaction form I thought it was uneven. All's well

    Why would you assume that? Your rear shocks have nothing to do with your ride height. If you want your rear lifted you need springs, blocks or something that affects that aspect of your suspension. 5100's in your rear are stock ride height. That's why you have a bro lean. Mystery solved. Lock it down mods.
