I just got my frankenlift on friday and i was measuring ride height and the passenger rear side was about a 1/2" higher than the other. the front struts were even. has anyone else had this problem, and will it eventually settle even?[/list]

My passenger side rear is a 1/2 inch higher,but I assumed it was because of the rear battery on driver side.
Mabe not.

Got my Frankie and it's even all around. Did you make sure that you were parked on level ground?

well i checked it in our shop on perfect ground and the driver's front an rear are of by about 1/2" so im hoping it will settle even, i have nothing in the jeep that could cause it to do this.

See what happens when it settles a little bit. Drive over some speed-bumps.

I seem to remember that there were a pair of yellow OME "trim packers" in the box with my OME948 HD rear springs, but I can't seem to find them now...

See:

Could not tell you which one is the proper size though...

I am NOT saying that these are the proper size, but they looked like these:

nope no trim packers came with the springs. im gonna let it sit for a while, its just weird that the drivers front and rear are of by 1/2". wouldn't this mean my jeep has more weight on the drivers side. i have no extra weight added to the jeep besides the subwoofer but i checked it with that out and it didn't change.

did you check the rear springs before you installed them to make sure they were both HD's?

my franky was about a half inch higher in the front for about a year, then settled to just under a quarter inch higher.
