Uneven drop in the rear

Recently installed a set of DF210s, and the rear isn't dropped evenly. For some reason, the rear passenger side wheel sits about 1/2" lower than the rear drivers side wheel does. I've driven on them for 2 days now. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Fry - She'd have to be driving. And as long as I am physically capable of doing so, she will nevr drive over me, lol.

Finally - 230lbs probably evens it out, but I want it even when my fat *** ain't sittin in the car.

Gabe - I made sure I did everything correctly. And I know for sure the spring mount is in there. I wish it was that easy to fix though, haha

david - I'm gona give it another wek or 2. Hopefully me sitting in it will help even it out. I mean, it's not THAT noticeable, but it def is to me and I need it even or I'll go crazy. Love the drop it gives, though.

I have the same thing, except my drivers side is about 1/4 - 1/2" lower than the pass side. i thought maybe is was the way i had rear sway bar preload set but that wasnt it. its not a big deal to me, just curious what causes this

I installed them correctly. The springs fit into the mounts exactly as they were supposed to, with the end of the springs in the little indents and all of that. I also lined up the top spring mount exactly like they were before I took them out to ensure I didn't mess nothin up. I guess it doesn't bother me THAT much, just wanted to see if there was an easy fix.
