Yes, it is level. They took the body off and started adjusting the axle to get it right then measured the frame to make sure it was level. I had a DK lift kit installed and then they shimmed the body to level it out. The body mount holes are the problem from what I was told. They don't line up right with the mount in the frame. I'm happy with it and so is my OCD wife.

I went to 3 different dealers in the Phoenix area & to the best that I could measure, at the rear fender, they were all 1/4" to 1/2" lower on the left side.
When I was questioned or brought it up to the near by sales people I was left with a blank stare.
I'd be interested if others find this to be the case else where.

Also, check out the distance between the top of the rear tire and the fender on both sides. I have not found a tri glide yet that is the same distance. Have noticed that most have about 1/2 inch difference. Easy to check just by using your finger. Poor quality control or what?

From what I have on my 2017 & in checking 3 other dealers 2017's I think your right.
How many 2017's do you think you've checked & did you ask anybody at the dealers service dept or salesman about what you found?

Did you bring that to anyone there at the dealers attention & more importantly is there a fix for this apparently common problem with the 2017 TG's?
