Had these 1.5" shackles installed by a local spring shop recently and now it seems the drivers side in the rear sits about a half inch higher than my passenger side. What gives? They were even before. Shocks?

I didnt measure although it definately would have been apparent to me if it was uneven in the rear. It looked dead even to me.

Anyone got any more input?

Give it a week and let it settle. Then if it's still uneven, either talk to the shop, or maker of your shackles.

I wouldnt be suprised if it wasnt level stock. on a lot of trucks when unloaded they tend to lean towards whatever side the gas tank is on.

I just thought of something...

Sorry for reviving a dead thread but It just occured to me that it might possibly be the bushings? I remember the spring shop saying that they had to replace some of them. When I put weight on the higher corner and rock it in the rear it makes a creaking noise while the lower side doesen't.
