Default Stock UL's crooked, un-level stance pics thread.

I want to start this thread to show people that stock UL's air suspension is really set up from the factory to be crooked, uneven, the driver's front is always way high by a few inches, and the passenger side rear is sagging down a few inches.

A lot of UL's owners complains about this and few people believe me when I tell them that is how Lexus set it up!

Please know I am in no way making fun of the UL's air suspension, I own a UL and enjoyed the smooth ride and the adjustable height feature from the air suspension when I had it for 1 year.

I just want to show people it is true that most of them look like that, it is not their suspension is broken, it is more like a factory defect, design issue.

It is funny looking unless you are the owner who is sick of the lean

Maybe the driver is supposed to be fat enough to compensate for it.

haha......that is what most people think, but don't forget it is self level, it would always maintain that height/stance, regardless of how heavy the load is.
