Un-even ride

[Mostar]

I have an 05 gmc envoy. I installed a bellthech 2"/3" lowering kit. It included struts for the front and springs and shocks out back. I noticed yesterday that the drivers side rear looked lower than the other side. I did some measurements and that side sits a half an inch lower than the other side does. I took a look at everything and it all seems to be installed correctly. The truck drives straight as an arrow and nothing seem to be wrong. What could be wrong?

I found this in a skyjacker section:

Make sure you park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. Many times a vehicle is

un-level (side-to-side) from the factory, but usually not noticed until a lift kit has been installed

which makes the difference more visible. Using a measuring tape, measure the front and rear

(both sides) from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle. Record below

for future reference. (NOTE: Due to OEM inconsistency and the available options, the amount of

lift gained by this lift kit can vary as much as 1/2".

Maybe it was that way before the kit?

make sure the coils on the front shocks are located correctly. There is a dropped area on the lower spring perch of the shock. Make sure that the coil is rotated until it hits that stop. The lower spring perch has some slope to it.

this is along shot, but, make sure the rear spring are put in the right side up. If they are in upside down they won't seat completely.

These are some things we found out with our Trailblazer, although ours never sat uneven but I also used a McGaughys kit.
