Those with drivers side leans

How far are you leaning? What have you tried to correct the lean?

I am currently low on both the front and rear drivers side with my Daystar lift. My new lift kit comes with an OME trim packer which will make up 5mm (approx .2"), I assume that the .2" will equate to a larger number due to the suspension geometry, but maybe not. I am not sure how it will help at all with the rear, but we will see. I really, really, really hate this lean. I have tried airing up the rear drivers side load leveler all the way up to 30psi with only 5psi in the passenger side and it had little to no effect on the rear lean.

Current ground to fender measurements:
Drivers Front - 37.75"
Passenger Front - 38.25"
Drivers Rear - 38.75"
Passenger Rear - 39"

You're talking .25 - .50 inch difference on either side. I'm not sure I'd constitute that as a "lean". Gamerc sent me a PM the other day about a lean on my truck in one of the photos I had posted in the forum. It freaked me out a bit, so I went down to look and measure. I couldn't perceive any lean looking at the truck from the front or rear, and my measurements showed that my front driver side was approximately .5" lower than my front passenger side, and my rear driver side was approximately 1" higher than the rear passenger side from where I measured. How could you even discern a lean with the types of measurement differences you're talking about? Did you notice this on your own or have you been reading bed time stories?
 
Maybe it is the OCD in me, but I see it easily. The factory lean is only 1/4" and people notice that as well so at least I'm not the only one :P. Ground is perfectly level, its my garage.
 
Remember weight is what causes the lean not the length of parts on the truck. Wait untill you have that OME kit on before you invest too much thought in this. The stiffer items and the trim packer may have your lean well under .25" and if you think you can see that from 25' away than your spending entirely to much time gazing at a vehicle.

Sorry! That wasn't my intent, but I did want to see if it was the lean or an optical illusion.
