Something funny with my rear ride height...help?

I wonder if anyone has any ideas or experiences of this?

I just noticed my rear offside is riding 1/3 of and inch higher than the drivers side! I run on 20's (305s) and H&R springs, tire pressures are equal at 38 cold in the rear.

I have not noticed this before, but now I can slide my hand between the tire and fender on the one side, but not the other. I certainly think its higher than it used to be?

I have not hit anything ever, she's my baby

I think something has changed but not sure what?

Thanks for any insights you might have

If by "offside" you mean passenger side then a 1/4" or so difference vs the drivers side is typically normal, especially if you have installed new springs. The drivers side will settle relatively quickly because of the drivers weight, but if you rarely have a passenger with you then the passenger side will sit higher and take much longer to fully settle

RF 25 7/8
LF 26 1/4
RR 27 1/2
