    Just measured the suspension height- from the bottom of the tire, straight past the center of the hub and to the body. On level ground, I even moved the truck a couple times to see if anything would change. I know about driver's side lean, but why is my rear passenger height an inch higher than rear driver?

    Driver front: 34.5"
    Driver rear: 35.5"
    Pass front: 35"
    Pass rear: 36.5"

    I'm planning to do an Icon stage 1 with AAL, with the driver's lean spacer. Will the lift correct the difference in the two rear measurements?

    Compensate for steering components, gas tank and the driver.

    Aren't Icon stage 1 a coilover? Why would you need a spacer if you can adjust height with your coilovers?

    AFAIK they aren't adjustable in .5" increments.

    Coilovers are fully adjustable, just spin the spring collar up or down to raise and lower the ride. Most are 0-3" and can be adjusted to any height, you can dial them in to exact heights you want. The rear is another story, not sure why a full inch difference.

    How much gas did you have in the tank when measureing?
    If it was close to full that is where some of the difference comes in.

    With that being said. Mine is never the same.
    At different times it .5" -/+ from each corner. But never a full 1"
    I think it has to do with how much I' flexed the suspension in each corner
    as well as how much weight I've hauled in the bed recently. I no longer care
    as it's not noticeable. I just call it NORMAL and drive it.

    Great!. I was under the impression they had fixed increments.

    And yeah, it was a very full tank of gas, that could have been it. If it's normal I won't worry about it.

    You might want to install a set of air bags and that would even it out.
