When comparing to the Drivers side to the passenger side the Drivers side is .5 inches lower than the passengers side. I measured from the middle of the top of the wheel well to the floor and the numbers are as follows.

Front Driver 26 inches and Passenger 26.5 inches
Rear Driver side is 25.25 inches and Passenger side 25.75 inches

The frame is level and set at about 3.875 inches front from the bottom of the round tubes and rear set at around 4.25 inches.

Is it possible to level things out without taking the body off? I notice it when the car is parked but not sure others do.

Thanks

These bodies are not the same side to side. Left and right are not mirror images---and never have been. Set the chassis ride height and quit measuring the body :P

People can’t see both sides at the same time ��
Get out there and enjoy it!

Assure that the left and right shocks have the same amount of threads showing.

The front and rear will be different.

Thanks Craig. Ride height is set and even.
