2010 XP leaning to one side??

I just picked up the 2010 XP 2 weeks ago. I just realized that this thing looks lopsided. The passenger side is lower then the Drivers side. When you're looking at the rear, it very noticeable. I checked the shock adjustments and they're all the same. Tires all have the same pressure. I measured from ground to frame and it's 1.5" difference. Doesn't sound like a lot but you can see the difference. It doesn't appear to have a bad shock or anything. Does anyone have any ideas what this may be?? I need my new machine to be level!
Thanks!

Even though you checked the tire psi try swapping the left side tires with the right side. Tires are often not the same height even though they are the same size.

Did you try bouncing the suspension a few times and see if it returns to the same off-level stance? Are you sure the surface you are on is level? Sometimes just being off-level a few inches can transfer weight.

Is the fuel tank full and on the passengers side like they are on the RZRs?

Re: 2010 XP leaning to one side??

The gas tank is on the passenger side. However, its almost empty now and cant imagine that could cause the Ranger to lean over that much. I have tried bouncing the ranger on both sides thinking maybe I had a bad shock or something?? Still didn't work. Im going to be forced to take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out..

I had the same problem on my 09. right side was 2" taller than left.Turned out the right rear tire with same air pressure was taller and narrower than left side.dealer had no explanation for it just gave me a new tire. problem fixed.not sure how that would have happened but might be something for you to check,mine was very noticeable. good luck.

You were dead on. Thats what it was. The rear passenger tire was taller than the other and they both had the same pressure. My wife is the one who actually caught it. I was looking at the shocks when she made the comment about the difference in size from the rim to the tread. I got a new tire and this baby is sitting level! Thanks for all your input guys!
