Same here. Tired of shims stacked on top of the left coil.

A lot of people don't notice it, but it is very common. Tends to be easier to spot when the truck in parked on flat ground.

Yeah on my 12 and 15 i had the dealer shim it and my 17 i was like I am using the ouo kit to have it properly leveled. Because even with those shims it would be off. Ocd would kill me when I had the truck parked in the barn.

I'm familiar with both those classes of ships and yards. Ingalls is one of our "brother" yards under HII, and I'm at NNS ... aircraft carriers and submarines.

I can measure mine in the drive way and then move it over 2" and measure again and get different measurements every time I move it. When I put the truck on the front end rack it measures 1/8" off side to side Front 45 1/8th Right and 45 on drivers side full of gas.

At least west of the tidewater area.

I wanted to get weights on my 5th wheel side to side, so of course the truck was on the scales also. My truck weighs 340 lbs heavier on the drivers side with about 3/4 tank of fuel. My truck sometimes looks like it is lower on the drivers side, and sometimes it doesn't. My F150 was like that also.
