I also added motofab 1.5 inch spacers in the rear. I noticed right away that the rear seemed uneven but I initially chalked it down to my driveway being uneven. Well it looks like I was wrong. Measured today and the rear left is lower than the right rear by an inch. What could’ve caused this? TIA

Did you take the springs out and maybe put them back in the wrong sides??? I think someone else ran into that problem....

i had someone do the install so not sure. Waiting on them to get back to me. Hopefully soon. Sometimes they take forever to smh. If that’s the case, the fronts should be off as well though right?

Did you "level" it or pay someone? If you paid, 1st. stop is there.

Does one side stick out more than the other? Get on top of the bumper and see if it feels right by making it go up and down. Shake it side to side from the bed and see if something pops into place.

This is why you always take “before” measurements

I want to say that one of the springs on rear has a slightly different load rate for the gas tank weight.

swap your rear coils on the back. shouldn’t take you long and it’s an easy job

For sure sounds like a swapped spring. The left spring is more stiff to handle the fuel weight as described above.
