uneven ride height
I recently replaced all 4 shocks and the rear leaf springs. The rear end came up about an inch and a half, but now the left side is about a 1/2 inch lower than the right. Double checked my work and didn't see anything obvious. Any thoughts on how to raise the left side a 1/2 inch? Thanks for the help.

Did you tighten the front leaf spring eye and rear shackle bolts/nuts after the car was back down sitting on the tires, and after you bounced on the rear body a couple of times? Your leaf spring bushings could be bound if you tightened everything with the car in the air.

Thanks for the info. I crawled under the car and loosened everything (except the u-bolts) and then cycled the suspension a few times. With the naked eye it does look better, but when I measure the ride height it is still off a bit. It is not as bad as it was but still not exactly even. Maybe after I drive around a bit and the suspension gets broken in it might even out a little more.

Yeah, I was going to suggest you take the car out and throw it through some turns, and see if it levels out at all. The front springs could be throwing the one side off too. If the left is weaker than the right, the car will lean, and will affect the rear stance.
