different heights at all 4 corners

Well, I purchased a set of 99 Talls from a guy on here and after installing I was sitting exactly 1 1/8" taller all the way around, hub to fender flare. Fast forward 2 months and now I'm sitting at (hub to fender flare edge):


rear Drivers 20 5/8" Front Drivers 20 5/8"
rear passenger 20" Front Passenger 21"


So, did I just get worn out springs, or could this be because I'm still riding on the stock shocks/struts? I used his struts which had a claimed 80k on them, and my original rear shocks at 135k, just for reference.

Any ideas what could be done to level it all out?

Measure ground to fender on a flat surface to double check. Also did you put the taller rear coil on the driver's side?

It was my understanding that the rear coils are the same (same part number, same color code) but that the fronts are side specific. Either way, different or not, my low side is the passenger rear and both the front and rear drivers side measurments are equal (20 5/8") with my currently full tank. This leads me to believe that the springs are correctly installed per side.

I understand that the shocks are not really all that weight bearing, but I wonder if fresh shocks would straighten things back up. However, prior to throwing parts at it, I'm just wanting some insight from people who might have a greater experience than me when it comes to suspension in these trucks.
 
New shocks are never a bad thing. The only way to level out the rear would be to put an OME spacer in there. Toytec has them for cheap. It may not get it perfect but it could be close. My rear is off by 1/2 in. on the passenger side. But when I'm driving, my weight balances it out.
