Right side is 3/4" higher after shock install
I installed KYB Monomax shocks over the weekend. After the shock install, the right front was noticably higher so I measured it and it's now 3/4" higher than the drivers side. I've heard of "Chevy lean" but 2 weeks ago I installed McGaughy's 2/4 drop and both sides were even.
What did I screw up?

Still looking for a solution.
I know it's not the shocks doing this. It's very high on the right front, almost as if it's not lowered at all. I'm afraid that something in the rear suspension might also be part of the problem.
Any ideas?

I actually did some measuring on my truck, thinking that this was the problem. I measured the driver and pass side of the truck at 1/8 of a tank of fuel. Then went and filled it up and measured again. Results of 1/8 of a tank and a full tank were within 1/4 of an inch of each other.
