give it some time to settle. then if it still leans you might have to have your springs rearched a little bit.

cuz its the only section with suspension in it....
so today i took out the pass. side bump stop just to see how it looks and its level... so my question is.. can i leave the stock bump stop on the driver side and use a small bump stop on the pass. side??? (and be safe and not mess anything up)

Cut the bump stops to where you have at least 2" of clearance between the axle and the stops. Riding on the bump stops is going to feel horrible on a bad road.
