Once I installed them the driver side is sitting lower than passenger side.

any ideas why this could be?

a majority of jbodies will have the front passenger side about 1/4-1/2" higher than the driver side. nobody to this day has been able to figure out why, but there are theories based on engine/tranny center of gravity, the battery is on the driver side, and normally the one person in the car (the driver) is also on that side.

I was on level ground, I will check the springs to make sure they are seated and its way more than a half inch off.

I only put the springs on the front so far could that be the problem?
or could the springs need to be on a certin side?
