measuring after lift ... all 4 corners different height - NVM case closed thanks!

I got a Toytec lift Toytec/Bilstein coilovers 3 inch lift back in April. and I've got a couple of questions that I hope anyone on hear can answer.

I've noticed that the rear end is actually lower than the front end. Does anyone know the C clip comes preinstalled at a higher setting?

When I try and measure it... it seems all 4 corners always have a different distance from the ground to the fender. I've measured at 3 different locations trying to find the flattest spot I can. But no matter what they really don't match.

The rears are relatively close within 1/8 so not worried. However the front drivers side is anywhere from 1/2inch to 1/4 inch different from the front passenger. Is that normal?

Yes its called driver's side lean caused by the battery and gas tank being on that side, and if your sitting in the driver's seat, it will exaggerate it more. To get rid of it, you put a 1/4 spacer on the driver's coilover. FYI my passenger side is 1" higher than driver's side and it doesn't affect anything from what I can tell. I've just been to lazy to adjust my coilover and get another alignment. You need to adjust it how you want before you get an aligment though.
 
I tried playing with driver side coilover top mount spacer but that makes droop height different left to right, then adjusting the driver side coilover higher makes preload different left to right in the front. I ended up giving in and doing one 1.5" daystar on the rear driver spring (essentially applies more load to that spring) but it's a lot less noticeable while driving AND leveled mine out about damn near perfect. There's not really a perfect fix other than redistributing the weight.
 
Thanks guys,

So I called Toytect as well and after speaking to them it seems I Goofed.. I made a few mistakes.. number one I need to measure the height from the middle of the hub not the ground.

Also after the new measurements it seems I'm actually pretty balanced. Pretty close outside the drivers lean as mentioned. now I'm looking to see if I'll do the 10mm spacer or not.

Thanks for everyone who commented.
