Drop shackle problem

I installed belltech shackles on my 01L about 2 months ago and i checked it regularly to make shure it settled to the 2 full inches.I measured it today and it was 3/4 inch heigher on the left rear than the right rear. i dont know what is wrong with it because i checked the bolts with the torque wrench and they were tight so thats not the problem.

Did you tighten the bolts after dropping the truck? Many have found that you must tighten the bolts completely after the truck has settled under its weight. Keep them loose until you lower the truck. That should level it out again.

I left them loose jacked the front up, and tightened them while the front was in the air.
