Title: Perfect? LOL

So I just dropped the truck off of the jack stands and back onto the ground after a couple of weeks of work on the suspension.  I installed a vendor mix-match if parts.  Front:  6" Alacans on a Dana 60.  Rear:  3" Detroit Leaf packs., 2" ORD shackle flip, 4" ORD shackles, and 14-bolt with some weld-on spring perches.  Knowing the ride height always needs a tweak to make it sit level, I thought I'd throw a level on the bed rail to see where I'm starting and this is what I saw.

I realize the new springs will settle and I may still need to tweak but I still found it funny that the first look is perfectly level.  I've never seen it before.
