hahaha yeah there are a lot that do but it could be your car was sitting on uneven ground or you got a bad set of springs you always want to put them side by side and make sure they sit the same

Well, go back and look over what you did. Obviously something went wrong when installing. I would leave it, than you can tell people that you have air bags and they are individually adjustable! hotness kid!!

Mine did the same thing. I went back and checked the front spings and one was not seated all the way down in the lower a-arm. I turned the spring a little and now it sits perfectly level.

Did you install new spring dampeners. Maybe one of them is sitting slightly cocked. Also give it a day or 2 to settle. It might just fix itself.

Shocks and struts don't have anything to do with ride height.
