trucking sitting aa bit crooked on driver side with rough country 2.5" leveling kit

[helione86]

I have a 2011 Laramie with a rough country 2.5 leveling kit (2.5" front spacers & 1.75" rear spacers) A few months ago i noticed my front driver side wheel to fender gap was less than the passenger side. i didn't think much of it at the time since i was parked on a hill. Even on level ground i began noticing there was a difference, other people don't notice but it's just one of those things that annoys you till you fix it. Today with it sitting on level ground i took some measurements from the ground in the center of the tire to the bottom of the fender.

Front Left - 38" 13/16 (38.8125")
Front Right - 39" 3/16 (39.1875")
Rear Left - 41" 3/16 (41.1875")
Rear Right - 42" 1/2 (42.5")

So basically my driver side is sitting 3/8" (.375") lower at the front & a whole 1 5/16" (1.3125") lower at the rear. ( I did have a full fuel tank at the time but not sure how much of a difference it would make).

I'm just wondering if my coil springs are starting to get weak on the one side or if it's a shock issue. My truck only has 29,000km (18,000miles), the only other thing i can think of is that the spacers aren't the same thickness but i have a hard time believing that. Let me know what you guys think, it's starting to annoy the hell out of me.

take the leveling kit back off and see how it sits

I'm running the same leveling kit and my truck is not uneven. So I think you might be able to rule out the issue being the spacers having different thicknesses. I don't have enough technical know-how to give you advice on anything more than that so hopefully someone else will chime in soon.

Our trucks have the 'dodge lean'
Very common to say the least and more evident when lifting.

I have the 1/2" lean as well.
I used a different size spacer to eliminate it.
Quite a few others did this too

It has to do with your gas tank on the drivers side. When full, it will sag more than when empty

When I installed my rcx 6" lift on my truck I noticed my stock coil was taller on the driver side rear then the passenger. try switching the springs around.

What lift kit do you have?
The RCX springs are the same.
Would be interesting to know which manufacturer does this

I meant the stock coil springs. driver side was about 1/2" taller . RCX springs were the both the same height. I am thinking of putting a 1/2" spacer in to help with my driverside lean.

This is exactly what I would recommend.
