Default Passenger side sagging, new lift

I just finished installing my lift but the passenger side is lower than the driver side by an inch, both front and back.

RC 4.5 inch long arm plus 2 inch spacers and lift shackles. Along with shackle relocating brackets.

All the tires have equal air, and weight distribution is slightly heavier on the drivers side, so I can't figure it out.

There is about 10 degrees difference in my shackle angle also, even though the shackles are set up the same on boths sides.

Any ideas?

Front- dunno.
Back- did you tighten the shackle bolt with axle in the air? If so that why. You need to put the weight of you jeep on the springs and axle before actually tightening these bolts down all the way.

Well I knew that's how you're supposed to do it, but now that you mention it, I can't remember if thats what I did or not lol. I'll go check and see if thats it or not, then post back.

I just loosened them up, and cycled the suspension, but its still lower by an inch. The springs aren't right and left side specific are they?

Mine does the same thing. I was told that the front coil spacer is worn out, so I checked it and sure as **** it's a lot more worn then the drivers side.
