That's the only place I can figure it came from... just doesn't make any sense.
My 2020 isn't cut like that on either side. The only reason I can fathom someone might do that is to access that shock top nut - which it isn't even necessary to do.

Recall VB6 - 2019 DJ D2 Diesel Engine Calibration
I just went on a long looping trip to Flagstaff AZ from Vegas empty, then went through Sedona AZ, then back roads back to I40, altogether about 600+ miles. This was climbing winding roads, city traffic, and the climb into Flagsatff AZ from Kingman AZ at 80 mph+. I didn't notice any difference in...

My truck has never been to the dealer, ever. So, it came from the factory this way.

Finally got my backordered rear shocks. I made some measurements ( in inches) for anyone who is interested.
Rear ride height (wheel well to center of hub): Driver = 25.25 Pass = 25.5
Stock shock installed (center to center of eyelets): 22.75
Stock shock extended (center to center of eyelets): 25.5 Compressed: 19.5
Bilstein shock extended : 29.5 Compressed: 19.0

The left rear pin is the hardest for me to get to with the tank on the inside and the liner in the way on the outside. I remove all of the small screws and rotate the liner to get at the nut.

You're doing it wrong
I hate the pin style why they switched to that style is questionable they always had cross bolt which is much better to change out

@H3LZSN1P3R , I am fine with any type I can get to. I am more fine with any type I can get to with bigger tools for when they rust themselves into becoming part of the truck.

Thats where the cross bolt is best because the impact makes thing much easier lol

I'm seeing the threads already rusting on the pin...I need to so something, but fear I will not and just use a lot of penetrating oil on the next touch.
