What size tire did you go with? I talked to my tire guy again today and he said I could get by with a 305/40 but the 305/45 would give me problems.
I spent most of the day playing with my truck too. I got whale tail removed, and the Snug lid installed. I put a shackle on as well. Yep, mine was the same as yours, sitting at least a half inch lower on the driver side.
I pulled the front license plate, and now I have to pick up some stainless pan head screws to cover the holes. Tomorrow the badges come off cause I don't need no "steenkin badges"...
