wdbates - You guys measuring these trucks with driver in them?
AND ... A full tank of fuel?

Recall that gasoline weighs 6+ Lbs a gallon (216+ for a full 36 gal') and the tank is on the LH side. Perchance FoMoCo is taking the weight distribution into consideration in the suspension setup.

Mine was with a full tank of fuel. I don't think my 200lbs in the drivers seat is going to drop the truck nearly an inch at the back wheel but I could be wrong. I am wondering if it is the bilsteins because I don't recall the difference from side to side being this great with the stock shocks on the truck.

I'm 160lbs, how much do you weigh? Lol. Mine is 1/2" higher on the passenger side, with the tank at 1/4...I wonder if it would be a full inch with a full tank and me in the driver seat?!!

Had the truck at the dealer for service and asked my service manager to loosen the EAS adjustment bolt three turns on the passenger side. I'm now at 39 1/4" ground to fender on both sides. So the RAS can indeed be used to fix the ride height difference.

X2 ...and does anyone know what a 1/4, 1/2, or full turn equates to in hight - up or down?? AND, because my truck is lifted, will that matter? The truck was like this before it was lifted and is still the same, just 4" higher on each well...
