yeah i checked body mounts, 2 are alright on the back of the cab. but the box is also leanin, so it would be un even. the only thing i can think of is im always on un even ground which i know im not.

No vehicle is going to be perfectly level.  The nature of a spring is going to allow it to "set" at a different heights.  You could measure a new car on the showroom and it would be at different heights.  Then measure it after someone drove it and it would be lower.  Same goes with lift/lowering kits, the 4,5,6" lift/drop is a general term, you could get less or more depending on how the spring sets.
