Quick Question About Lifting and Side to Side Height

[eldude]

I recently lifted my SR5 using OME 884s and 5100s. I was aware that the driver side would be lower than the passenger since I dealt with the same thing on my FJ.

To correct this I put a 1/4" spacer on the D.S. Surprisingly though the front ended up still being higher on the passenger side by about 1/2" to 3/4". I didnt take any pre-measurements unfortunately by I ended up with around 23" from center hub to fender on the D.S and 23.75" on the P.S.

That also looks high compared to others, but perhaps mine being a base SR5 makes it lighter. My CV angles look o.k. (not great, but not terrible).

Im wondering if theres anything I could miss that would cause it to be so much higher on the one side?

I bought them preassembled but I do know that the perches arent upside down and that the 5100s are on the lowest setting. Is there anything else that would affect the height?

How far off was it before the lift?

Also 3/4" really isn't that much and not even worth worrying about. Every time some one gets in or out of the rig it changes. There are bigger fish to fry..........

Didnt pre measure. 3/4" is with the spacer though. I guess Im just surprised since without it, it would be closer to 1 to 1.25".

My biggest concern was with the CV angles, passenger side was worse obviously. It just seems like I got more lift than advertised, but ultimately I did the diff drop and the inner CV angles are much better now.

I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but could you have accidentally installed the passenger side with the 5100s on a higher notch than the drivers side? Just a thought.

They're both on the lowest setting. Passenger and driver were labeled. The main difference usually with labeling the pass. and driver sides are the alignment of the bottom of the shock and the alignment of the perch so that it doesn't contact the sway bar.

I did consider it initially though, thanks anyway.

It could have been uneven before you ever started.......I would not expect any different afterwards.

Give it a few hundred miles and let the springs settle before you start worrying too much
