Help!! Rear suspension not sagging evenly

Hello Everyone,

I recently put on my 5100 lift with ome coils and it was even all around until I decided to drive through some curvy roads. At first I thought it was the kdss lean so I started to live with it but I jacked up my car tonight and my passenger side rear is not sagging at all. Does anyone know the reason why? You can see what I mean from the pictures below.

I have a picture of both sides so you can see the difference. The car is jacked up in the picture.

Thanks for all the help!

It would be easier to see with a picture from the rear showing the lean. Some members use what they call a trim packer on one side to correct this, and usually it does sag more on the drivers side because of solo driving and the gas tank is on that side (when full you're looking at ~140 lbs). Your KDSS may need a zero point calibration. But I don't have KDSS so I don't know if a minor lift like yours would cause this or not.

Measure from top of tire to fender on each side to see what the difference is. My neck won't allow me to look at the pictures the way they are oriented, so I can't see it very clearly.

Thank you for the reply, my apologies about the picture being side ways, I uploaded it on my phone late last night. I have now fixed it.

The rear of the car is actually jacked up and the tires are off the ground. It is hard to tell because it is not jacked up that high, but the passenger side is still in the same position as when it was on the ground while the passenger side is sagging. Could this be the kdss?

I noticed that the passenger side spring is compressed about 1 in more than the driver side while it is jacked up in the air, I don't understand how thats possible because it should sag when it gets lifted from the ground. Could it be my shock?

Thanks for all the help everyone.
 
Much confusion here... pictures are horrible and don't really show anything. Get out in the sunlight and take a picture that from behind...

Where are you jacking it up from... Sort of looks like the rear diff or axle. If so... Nothing is going to change for obvious reasons.

If you are lifting from the frame and one side is not dropping at all.. Something is horribly wrong with the shock.
