Truck Sits Lower On Driverside

Measured both sides of the Frontier, front and rear, at the top of wheel well to the ground. The drivers side front sits 1/4" lower than passenger, and the rear sits 1/2" lower than passenger. If you guys don't mind, can you take measurements? Just curious if the fuel tank, and steering linkage is causing the lean, or if something might be off. I checked tire pressure all around.

I'm about positive it's your fuel. My truck sits about 1/4" low at half a tank, and fully 3/4" low at a full tank. At near empty i'm pretty level. I'm planning on adding a chunk of a leaf from my old leaf pack to compensate. If I can make it sit just 3/8" higher, that's good enough for me. As for the front, unfortunately that can't really be helped, since you have the OME package.

I think youre right wreckdiver. I'm going to turn the truck around in the garage and see if there is any difference. By the way, where did you get your front tow mounts from? I remember that you got them from a member on an Xterra forum. Does he still carry them?

I turned it around in the garage a remeasured. The front came out at 37" even on both sides, go figure. The rear measured a 1/4" lower on the driver side, slightly less. Garage must slope more at the door than at the back.
