Default shock question on a 3" lift kit

are shocks different lengths for front and rear?? I have a 3'lift kit and i had a guy put on new shocks for me and it seems like it is lower on the whole drivers side. It just kind of clicked in my head that may be why.

thanks

That shouldn't be the cause. My Jeep sits lower there too with a 3" lift.

I know a lot of Chevy trucks have this and they call it the "Chevy Lean".

What comes to mind when I hear the lean thing is that maybe one of your coils are not seated properly. Just did a 91 and we had to compress the spring and rotate it into the socket at the bottom and that would cause her to list to port.
