    Check out avatar, thats pic from today, had leveling kit on front installed today. It was 1 and 7/8" high in the back compared to front. Now it looks a tad high in front but measurements are equal, well, 1/16" higher in front, except for passenger side rear which is 5/8 higher than all other corners of truck, that was already the case when I bought it though.

    I know in Tennessee they call it Tennessee tilt.

    Clicking on the small little Avatar pic still makes it tough to see if you have Bro Lean. Take a nice sideways shot on level ground. Also did you put the 1/4 lean spacer on the Driver's strut mount to compensate for the lean?

    The pic in your avatar looks ok. Not seeing any bro lean from that angle.

    Some people like BL. o_O

    Personally, I hate even a hint of it. :puke:

    Let me change avatar real quick to a side shot, no didn't put the 1/4" spacer in but the both sides of front measure same.

    When I put my last set of 5100's on (set to 1.75"), I measured dead even on all 4 corners, (using the center of hub to bottom of fender measurement) but the truck still looked slightly nose high to me. I lived with it for a month, then got an AAL.

    I bet if you measure from the bottom of the frame to ground, at the front, and rear of the cab, it will show the front sits slightly higher.
