Hmm that's bizarre normally a coil would be too big or a leaf not both. Was it the add a leaf kit or full leafs? Only thing I can think of is RC sent you the wrong parts which they've been know to do from what I heard. They sent me the wrong size nuts for my u bolts. Or your frame or unibody is somehow tweaked.

I don't think it would need to settle that much. How are you measuring the amount of lift you have?

No that shouldn't be an issue if it does need to settle still it should settle the same mount on both sides so you will still have that difference. I'm sure you did but I need to ask anyway but are you sure you put the aal in right? I'm out of ideas other than that.

the center pin hole was offset. would it make a difference if i had accidentally put it towards the wrong way?
