that's just the stance of the truck.
it sounds right.
my truck is way higher in the back than the front.

don't have exact measurements for you though, sorry.



hope this helps you more

Your truck sits like this because of the rear leaf springs. It's made this way to take a heavy load and not bottom out. The bed is light therefore it sits higher in the rear. The weight of the engine brings the front down. Nice truck by the way!
