Default left side lower then right after 3 inch rc lift??

The drivers side is a little lower than the passenger side after the lift. When i look from the front or the back i can see the lean to the drivers side. Measured from fender to center of wheel and the drivers side is definitely lower. any reason for this? anyone else come across this after installing a lift. Getting it aligned tomorrow was wondering if i should wait until i correct the lean??

Is it safe to assume you confirmed the springs were the same height and seated correct?

Did you use an add-a-leaf or full leaf spring assembly kit?

I used the full leaf springs and i put the coils up against each other and they were exactly the same . Coils are definitely seated correctly. I'm hoping after they make some adjustments and alignment it. It might straighten up.

After a few days of driving it leveled itself out.
