The lift only has about 200 miles on it, so I’m sure things will continue to settle a little bit.
Measured from center hubs to the bottom edge of my oversized fender flares:
FRONT DRIVER: ~ 21 1/16”
FRONT PASSENGER: ~ 21 1/4”
REAR DRIVER: ~ 22 1/4”
REAR PASSENGER: ~ 22 1/4”
So, the front driver side lean is just a little less than a 1/4”.
Rear side to side is level.
Once everything is done settling, I might add a 5mm trim packer to the driver front. (I should have done the trim packer with the initial install. Oh well.)

Thanks for those measurements & explaining how you took your measurements, makes a big difference for comparison consistency. I recently purchased 880/bilstein 24-248730 & 906/bilstein 24-249966 for my 2001. Assuming the information on Cruiser Outfitters is correct, 880 & 881 have the spring rate & bar diameter but 881 free height is 10mm taller than 880. Since OME rear springs (906, 890, 891, 861) are side specific with a 10mm height difference, I was thinking about experimenting with 881 on the driver side & 880 on the passenger instead of using different perch settings or spacer.
