You have to make sure the springs are seated properly in their cups. The end of the last coil sits in a groove in the spring cup. If it's not sitting there, then the car will sit higher..but maybe not that much higher.

Ive had that same problem with my car, but its higher on the drivers side and lower on the passenger side, but the difference isnt as much as yours. I honestly dont know what to say besides go over their work using LS1howto and make sure they did everything right. Soory I couldnt be of more help. Good luck.

not sure what prokit u talking about... not sportlines though! It hits weird/hard on the front left side like shock is worn so I am going to buy shocks for all 4. I am running bilsteins for the front & stockers in the back. gonna take the car back to shop and see if they can fix it for now. Shoot I paid $180 for labor.

what I might try just out of curiousity is swap the 2 rear springs from left to right and see if the problem goes away or if it makes the opposite side lift. If the springs are in the proper pocket and its leaning that dramatic the only other thing I can possibly see would be if the shock mount on the bottom had the bushing give out and its sitting on the bolt instead of centerd. That is a common probly on the pre runner and 4wd toyota trucks never really see it that much in other vehicles but its worth checking. . .although that wouldnt effect the front. . .

alright I just checked out the installion with the shop and the springs are in place so I think the left front shock is bad. I got the difference in each gap.
FL - 2 1/2
BR - 2 1/2
FR - 3
BR - 2 3/4
I will be replacing all 4 with slp bilstein or revalved bilsteins but I have to wait till Jan since everyone who sells them are out of stock. Oh well 2 months of cruising with a limp...lol
