Got a chance for the first time to swap cars with my wife after meeting outside on the drive home. On the first left hand turn coming out of the shopping lot my jaw almost dropped. There was so much body role I thought the car was going to flip over. I would have never guessed this from behind the wheel as I think it corners well for something of this size in sports mode. What was more surprising however was that It took a long time 20 seconds or so for the truck to level out after coming out of the corner so it looked as if the truck is tilted to the passenger side despite having all the weight on the driver side. I was so surprised that I started measuring the deference on each side on my flat surface garage . I found the passenger side to be half and inch lower than the driver so the empty gas tank and no driver.
Here in the picture I took on a straight portion of the drive after the turn

Looks normal, sometimes when I'm looking at mine, such as when it's in the garage and I'm walking up my driveway, it looks a bit unlevel...leaning towards the passenger side. Regarding body roll around the corners, it shouldn't really be unexpected with a 5700-lb body-on-frame truck.

Drive behind her with the truck in comfort mode vs. sport+ and see if you can see a difference.
 
not questioning your measurement skills but perhaps the roadway cross slope is messing with that pic also. Another thing, your measurement could be a good thing. The truck levels out when the driver is on there...

Regardless, she looks good from the rear (all angles really lol).
 
I actually think my 25 Overtrail corners well for a larger SUV. Much better than my Gen 5 4Runner (w/ KDSS) ever did. A good test has been multiple trips in and out of the North entrance to Yellowstone National Park over the past few weeks. Used various suspension modes. The road has up several 10% grades with wicked hairpins and dips. I followed a 2025 4Runner down the hill other day at fairly excessive speeds and was impressed how the Overtrail settled after each turn.
