Suspension lift measurements off

My measurements are off side to side. I’m running terrafirma 3” lift with rear sls bag spacers.

Measurements from the ground
LF 36 1/4”
RF 37 5/8”
LR 36 1/2”
RR 35 5/8”


How do I go about leveling the suspension so it doesn’t sag on one side.

I can’t tank for the front, but as for the RR I’d recalibrate it with a nanocom to match the left. It’s a simple process that only takes a few minutes.

Just thinking now, it’s not making sense that your diagonal corners are lower. Are you measuring from the guards? Could it be that the guards are not on properly? Try measuring the chassis to ground heights at each corner. Could be that the body isn’t on the chassis straight...or else you’ve bent the chassis somehow.

I’m measuring from the ground to the flares.

You need to baseline some more info or choose a different reference point.

Is every tire evenly matched at at the exact same pressure?

Is the ground perfectly flat, hard, level concrete?

Is the amount of weight on each corner exactly the same?

Are you making these measurements because you have a visible list or are you just curious?

Most of the time I've seen these types of measurements done they are from top of rim to equivalent point on the wheel arch, or some other matchable steel reference point, not a flare.

I noticed it tilting to one side so I took the measurements to see if I was seeing things. And I was not. The tires are inflated properly and the ground is level concrete. I measure from the ground through center of wheel to center of wheel flare. The lift just got installed so maybe it’s a spring seating issue. I’m going to look closely at it this week (not my daily driver). But was has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the fix.
