My gas tank is empty, FYI. We can dispel that rumor.

Interesting. I am afraid this issue is real. Just got the truck and parked it in my elevated garage. With the elevated viewpoint, it clearly looks like there is a driver side sag. Will take pictures and post tomorrow.

I just measured mine and the driver's side is about 3/8" lower. Dang it guys! I never would have noticed this but now I am going to see it every time I look at my truck! It's no matter...I still love her though. :)

Mine is pretty noticeable, not sure how you could miss it..

A couple of images demonstrating the sag.

Try holding the camera level.

It is clear from the distance to the garage line that the camera is not centered on the truck and not square to the truck. Objects that are further appear smaller than those that are close up. The lighting on the tires in the lower picture also causes it to look pronounced.

If I look at the top picture and attempt to adjust for the camera angle and the tire lighting, it looks like the truck is the only thing in the pic that is straight. Your garage door looks massively crooked and taller on the left than the right, lol.

What happens to the lean if you sit in the passenger seat for a few minutes (leaving the driver side free)?

Has anyone put a 4 foot level to the floor/driveway and the truck?

I suppose for those few minutes it will be "a bit more level" but then you'll get out..
