Was it you who said after your 3/4 drop that one side of the rear was slightly higher than the other? If so which side was higher, did you figure it out, or did it settle. The reason I ask is that I noticed the same thing. I have about a half inch difference.

The left side is higher by almost an inch. It hasn't changed any. I'm beginning to think it could be in the way the bed is mounted to the frame. When you look at the alignment of the bed and cab, you'll see (at least on mine, I do) a misalignment. I'm studying how to correct this through some shims or washers.

Most all of the L's I know of have misaligned beds and cabs. You'd think Ford would have gotten that right!!

Watch out for speed bumps with the misaligned beds !!!
Crazyone really screwed up his cab on one ... I saw the
damage and I just hope Ford covers it ...

You woould think that they could line these things up
a little better in a controlled factory environment....
