Sagging Front

[Aykillah]

Hey guys so today when I was parked in my driveway I was taking the trash out and noticed I had a considerable sag on the front drivers side of the truck. I didn’t think much of it but it’s been bothering me so I turned my truck around uphill in my driveway and measured from the ground to the bottom of the fender. I’m running brand new 35s all at 50psi so that isn’t the issue. Any ideas as to what might cause this? And additional measurements I should take? Or is this normal and my OCD is just acting up? Truck is a 2022.

Driver side is 42 3/8”
Passenger side is 42 3/4”

Caster adjustments might be off.

I did have an alignment recently with the new tire install and I hate places that don’t give me a printout.

They should be able to adjust them so it's even side to side.

I’ll have to go back and see what they say.

Cross caster can cause that. Assuming everything is installed/ adjusted properly I wouldn’t be too concerned about a little ride height difference between corners. All four Corner weights aren’t the same.

The battery and fuse box weighs a lot more than the air box. I can park my ram on a level surface and see if I have the same corner sitting lower if you’d like

If it’s not a hassle and no rush. I typically notice things like this and I walk past the front of my truck everyday, when I saw it today the gears started turning.

Much appreciated

3/8 of an inch could be the difference of a full fuel tank…

Tanks just about full, wouldn’t that make the rear heavier and raise the front? Or am I using too simple of logic? I just envisioned a seesaw with a gas tank on one side

Fuel tank is midship so you will have weight put on front and rear springs the fronts may show more than the rear, it could still be the caster but check when fuel is lower just for the sake of it

You'll never even out that little of a ride height difference. Just forget about it.

Besides, true ride height should be measured between the frame and bump stop rests on the top of the axle - not ground to fender.
