Uneven Lift?

I had a shop install the following lift on my rig a couple months ago:

OME 881 Front w/ Nitrocharger Sport 90004
OME 890 Rear w/ Nitrocharger Sport 60028

Occasionally I have noticed that the driver side sits slightly lower than the passenger side. I measured today, and both the front and rear are sitting 1/4" lower than the passenger side.

I also noticed that the top of the passenger strut doesn't looke quite the same as the driver side.

Passenger Side:
Uneven Lift?-img_20160925_193646064-jpg
Driver Side:
Uneven Lift?-img_20160925_193700581-jpg

I am relatively new to the lift game, and really I just have two questions...
1. Does it look like the passenger strut was not installed properly?
2. Is a 1/4" difference in height per side pretty standard, or is something wrong here?

Thanks everyone!

This is common. And speaking from experience. Driver side is heavier do to battery, steering colum dew other things. I went and added OME 10mm spacer in back. On driver side.

The top pic, the spring may not be seated all the way. Hard to tell from the pic though.

A lot of us have this problem very easy to fix. Toytec makes 1/4'' top plate spacers. Im running this and it fixes the lean. Might need a 10mm for the rear too.

Thank you! Good to know it is common, and my lift wasn't botched.

If it isn't seated correctly is there an easy way to find out short of disassembly?

I am running OME and from what I read and from my experience is that the springs are side specific. Longer ones go in the driver side to compensate the extra weight as previously mentioned. Spacers will def work but also check if the longer ones are on the drivers side.

Try swapping the struts. Even if they are both seated correctly it's still likely to have a lean. Get the spacers we mentioned. It will work

I'm running Toytec Superflex in rear. They make the driver side rear cool taller then the passanger side. I still had driver side sag. Even called Toytec complaining. The guy on phone said sorry. And that he has his coilovers in front at different settings to compensate for the lean. So I went ahaid and only put one spacer. OME 10mm in back. Like I said. Pretty common. More weight on driver side.

Not sure but the rubber piece with the NRK on it doesn't look right.

The rubber insert don't look seated. That could be part of the issue.

From some research on Yotatech, and after a call to Cruiser Outfitters, it does sound like at least the rears (OME 890s) are side specific. Supposedly the tags are marked "A" and "B," with "B" being driver and "A" being passenger side. I looked at mine, and neither tag as an "A" or a "B." They both look identical, and read "OME 890 O/N 502594" on one side and "0715" on the reverse. Can anyone confirm if the 890s are side specific?

I might have the shop that installed it take another look. Thanks!
