eric a colapsed cab mount on one side could cause the body to lead a tad, last i checked the fender was part of the body!

i am also suprised at the numbers, sure leaned alot when we put those things on. glad it all settled out!

You should have less in the back if it's level. The fender well lip is lower, about 1.5" or so.
