I did measure from the top of the frame down to the axle and there is a 5/8 inch difference. There is only a 1/8 difference between the two springs top to bottom.
I think I'll take Grit dogs advice and just tow with it for a while before taking it in.
Like ron3rd said, the timbrens didn't do it unless you shimmed them up tight with no load when installed.
Looking at your measurements above, yes sometimes mfg tolerances cancel each other out, sometimes they stack and compound the "issue".
Our Charger sits 1/2" low on one side front and back. Never been wrecked, didn't notice it when bought it (used) but it's never changed and fine now for 120kmiles.
The Dodge on my sig, before suspension mods sat a little lopsided forever. Only could notice it with a keen eye. Just a bit diffenret in spring sag. Hasn't hurt nothing for the better part of 200k.
Personally even with a new truck I'd rather not have the dealer mess with it unless it really affected something.
The 1 inch difference doesn't bother me all that much and I am with you on not wanting the dealer to touch my truck. My dilemma is I am unable to use my Timbrens unless I shave a half inch off of one of them. They are actually Sumo springs, not Timbrens. Wasn't sure if anyone knew what they were. They are about $100 more than Timbrens, so cutting into one of them is less than ideal, especially after buying a $60,000 truck.
