how cold outside, and how long ago did you put them on. The take time to settle, and if you have mor weight on one side in the back, then of course that side is going to settle faster than the other. Do you have subs on the lowerside, the gas tank is full possibly, and big girls in the lower side? lol

Yea mine are the same way.. If you have more weight on one side they will do it or if you are parked on any type of incline it will look off.. They are just really soft springs and any unlevel surface will cause them to look off..

Also if you just put them on it may be that they havent settled.. If you think you are low now wait 6 months or so and its gonna be bout another half in lower.. Thats how mine were

I just installed my Sportlines and they are off a little too. My friend who helped me install them just said they need to settle. I trust him.
