Default Moog springs 1/2 higher???

Drivers side sits higher? New poly bushings ,ball joints and springs and it rides great but the drivers side is a 1/2 higher at 28 1/4"

Did you make sure the springs were seated correctly?

I double checked and the springs were in the pockets.
And yes it's level with me (fat driver)in the car.
Both sides are indexed in the lower control arm too. Has anyone else had this much variation ??? I've seen 1/4 many times but never 1/2

what is the part number of the springs, 5762 or 5758? Assuming you have an 82 and A/C was standard you should have the 5762.
