I think this was covered before in earlier posts, but ther'e a delrin shoulder spacer on the truck pivot and for some reason, the rear one wasn't pressed in all the way.  It was such on my U33C. I pressit it down as far as it would go and everything was level.

Actually Rusty, what Troy did was cut of the cylinder that it attached to the truck bolster. I pushed my bushing in and mine sits level, but it rides on that cylindrical spacer. Troy cut that piece off so it rides noticably lower and it looks fantastic in my opinion. I'm going to do the same to mine. I'll probably document the process on my bolg for others that are interested.
