Coilover adjustment issues!???
Im giving up on these and buying new ones, 1500 if anyone wants them
Ive spent the last day trying to set my coil overs to be somewhat the same setup. Ive installed and removed them 3 times, set them up and measured them on a bench and when reinstalled I have a 1/2in - 3/4 in difference in ride height from left to right.
Everything goes in identical but ends up way off.

Who's coilover's do you have ?
Where are measuring from ?
You should verify that you are on level ground. All measurements should be to the frame and not the fenders.
If you off only remove the one you want to adjust and make change.

Did you check to see if the springs supplied were the same side to side (hard to believe Randy would have missed that).
Not sure what's going on here, unless your sway bars are loading the suspension for some reason.
