Exclamation Problem w/ drop shackles

So I purchased some DJM drop shackles from stylinconcepts.com and installed them this weekend. Very easy mod just can't figure out why my passenger side is a 1/2 inch taller from the driver side. Could my slanted driveway be the cause for the uneven drop or something else? I'm going to play with these again this weekend, so give me some input that may help solve this problem. Thanks.

Did your drop shackels have two holes like most the ones out there? If so ensure they are both in teh same holes. It would cause about a 1/2 differance if they were not...

Yea I double checked on that after I installed them, but all the bolts are in the top holes.

Sometimes when the shackles are tightened, they can bind. You may want to try loosening up the bolts and then retighten them with the truck under load.

BTW, what is the correct torque for the bolts, I just installed mines this weekend also, and I thought 75 would be good considering its a suspension piece. I now get a lot of road noise on bumps. Thanks for any input
