    Why does it need to be level?
    What is your definition of level? Parallel to ground? Parallel to truck frame?

    In reality, level means jack shit as long as you can still tow with it.

    Mine points slightly upwards when unloaded. Seems normal in an unloaded pickup. Post pics.

    Depends on what you mean by level. Is your hitch rotated down so that the receiver is more towards the ground?
