Driverside likes to sag due to the gas tank being on that side^.

Mine's like 1-1.5" lower on the driverside. A gas tank even half full is a lot of weight just constantly sitting on that side.

At least the has driver's side has an explanation! But yeah, the half inch looks very noticeable to me, but it really isn't a huge amount . . . And bansheeboy, I think I can see it a little bit, but it could just be because I'm trying to see it haha. I'm just gonna lift the rear end a bit next time I need an alignment and see of it makes it less noticeable. But when I get a lift, I'm gonna have to get new springs! And I don't plan on towing or loading too much, so hopefully they'll hold up

You don't need an alignment if you change the rear height, only if you do something to the front.

Oh, good to know! Thinking about it, there's no reason why I would, it is just moving the springs and bed up. Just always thought it would be good to do without thinking about what it involves.

So I never paid much attention to it till recently, but a TON of the trucks at my dealership have stacked blocks in the rear. What exactly is wrong with doing that? Other than axle wrap and stuff like that

Axle wrap, weakens u joints from the constant flex, wears out leaf springs faster, blocks can come out, break, contort/twist, it's illegal in some places etc. There's plenty of horror stories out there haha.
