Yeah, I'll bet anything that's what did it. :pat:
When I take it to the stealer next week I'll just play dumb and maybe I can get the springs replaced under warranty

I had the same problem too. After loading my truck with truck full of camping gear, food etc and 3 people for a trip to Colorado last September, I found out that my truck sit uneven too. The driver side was around 1 inch lower than the passenger side. I thought the load is uneven. But after I got back and unload everything, it still sits the same. I am pretty sure my driver side spring sag more than the passenger side spring. I replaced them with ome and the problem is gone since then and rides better too!!

I already have OME coils. Thus the really big annoyance to me.

How long have you installed your ome? When I installed them installed them for the first few days, it sits uneven too, it took me more than a week for it to sit evenly. Otherwise Ome sells something that call trim spacer or something like that to solve this kind of problem. You might wanna contact MIke at Extreme Offroad, I think he sells them. Hope this help!!

2-3 months. I know about the trim packers, but I can't use them because of my cornfed 1" spacers.

I'm just gonna have to live with it for a bit and see if it gets more level with more wheeling.
