Default level kit issue
What's up guys. Just installed my HBS 2" level kit (pics will be up soon). Well after the install I measured all around. For some reason my driver side rear sits about 3/4" lower. Everything else measures the same. I didn't measure all around before the install, just the front. I'm not blaming it on the kit just wondering what would cause this and if i should be concerned. Thanks

I know stupid question here but are you sure the truck was sitting level? Like one front tire not on a small bump or anything?

It's in my driveway. It sits pretty level. I'll double check when I park somewhere else.

Definitely. Any ideas and help are welcome. Other than that the kit looks good. Quick to install

Try to drive straight for about 100 feet and then measure without turning
