2021 ram 1500 with rough country leveling struts and rear shocks passenger side higher than drivers

[Julio13]

Installed rough country rear shocks and leveling strut in front and I’m noticing passenger side is less than half inch higher than drivers side has anyone notice this one side higher than other with stock suspension or custom?

Gas tank is on the drivers side. It has been speculated for years. No definite answer. Personally I wouldn't give a rip about a half inch. Enjoy your rig.

Ok sounds good I was just worried maybe one of the struts gave out or installed wrong thanks again for the help

normal when using aftermarket suspension. every brand does that. the only difference is some brands/ sellers compensate for it by adjusting the coilovers. experienced installers would also adjust the coilovers for it as well.
if you have the threaded body type coilovers or bilstein 5100s with the clips, you can also compensate for it.

I pulled my RR (passenger) coil and cut one full loop of the top of the coil off..the coil will still clock correctly when reinstalled.

The coil diameter is ~3/8" and the top two coils flatten under load, so the missing top coil lowers the RR by ~3/8" therefore.

My '24 Laramie G/T was ~ 1/2-5/8" high on the RR (depending on full vs empty gas tank) and now is down to 1/8-1/4"..it still bothers me cause I'm super Type A, but it's livable at least.

I've debated using "Jack Plates" under the LR & RR coils if I raise my front end higher. Jack Plates are threaded collars that install between the coil bottom and the axle top spring location..they are height adjustable then by adjusting the threaded collar..pretty use to i stall and set up.

So it seems it’s a known issue then
