I took the family up to Bear Bear Lake this weekend with my newborn 7 day old Ranger. We went on a few forest roads, with only one spot rough enough for any bottom out concern. When I got back to the campsite, I noticed one rear side sitting about 3 inches higher than the other:

After a lot of head scratching (because the truck didn't drive strange) and several crawls under the vehicle looking for something broken, it finally dawned on me the parking area in the campground was not level. This was the the psychological fix to my "problem":

And a few pics of the truck on the trip for fun:

Big Bear is a great place to break in your Tremor. It should level itself when you get home. :D

Trip to HorseThief Flats is certainly entertaining being double black diamond.... Done this several times teaching advanced off road courses to Ford engineers in Vehicle Dynamics... Modern vehicle dynamics aids have taken away a lot of the fancy footwork we used to get down and back up from the Flats...

best,
Phil

A little Kleenex and spit. It'll be good as new.
