So after I put in my spare bumper I noticed it was not level.
Then I examined the tow hitch receiver and noted it's not perfectly square and leaning towards the right. Is this normal?

irking the crap out of me. i could put a piece of metal on the right side and level it out, but doesnt seem like lexus paid much attention welding this on and its part of frame and rear cross member.
 
Doesn't help here, but for what's it worth, my 200 does the same thing to the left.
 
Ok the topic of tow hitch, has anyone used this? It seems like a good alternative of not having to deal with the pins.

8 inches is way too much. I run an 8 inch on my lifted F250. Had a 10 inch and it would drag on the same truck.

Fastway is great. I run their 2.5” on my F250s as it is rated for 20,000/2,000 which isnt common. Decent price and were ahead of their time as Ford keeps raising their 2.5” rating.

If you can adjust the trailer side height the best hitch would be a straight shank 10,000/1,000 3 ball. Strong, cheap, easy to store.
 
Ok, i did some more leveling and it looks like my garage is not completely level. Pretty much the same slant as when I out the level on my hitch. I even put a level on the rear bumper, and it has the same slant. Then i put those same level on the ground and it shows the same slant. Not sure what to make of this, since I dont have those hitch step that you guys have.

Insert that thing upside down and take a pic.
 
No pics? Was the receiver really off? Or was the step off or the ground not level?
 
Will post. No ground is level. Hitch is not square look at bottom right carefully
