Default Truck diffrent hight?

Is it normal for one side of the truck to favor one side then the other? On the left side from the ground to the fender is almost an 1" off from the right side. Should I crank the tbar up more on the left side or just Crank them the same even though they are different in hight?

All rangers have a tilt due to more weight being on one side

use the tbars to level it out an inch off is a bit extreme.

Won't that lower the opposite rear corner?
I'm 220#'s, and my Ranger doesn't lean at all, yes, that's with me in it.

The fuel tank, battery, and driver are all on the same side of the truck.
If you want to level it, ride with 500 lbs of weight on the passenger side to level it out.

Isn't the driver side t bar already cranked further from the factory? Mine was for sure. I was measuring the bolts before doing a mild t bar crank and the drivers side was shorter for sure. (The bolt that is)

Theres usually more stress on the drivers side and it creates sag so its prolly i little more cranked for tht reason
