Well, I jacked her up for the first time, on the frame railing towards the center of the vehicle but more biased to the rear. About 2ft towards the rear if you were measuring from the center of that particular rail.

Now the truck is crooked.
It's slanted in the direction I was jacking.
I'm pretty mad. I studied at least 15 different youtube videos and read all that i could online, and nothing warned of this.

Why is this happening?

It wont go away after driving, and its been sitting this way on perfect leveled surface for hours.
The truck was perfectly level before this.

I tried to jack up the other side to even it out, but it only helped very little.

Can't always trust Youtube videos.....

It's a frame rail. And the rail is perfectly straight.

what rig are you running? 2wd? 4?

crooked, as in dog tracking? or, sitting unlevel?

sounds to me like you simply unseated a coil and it no longer sits level... if it's 'crooked', man- you got some serious issues...

It sits uneven on perfectly level concrete surface. The rear seems to be crooked, the front is fine

I'm going to check the coils now.
