see i noticed the same thhing on my box....then i found the porblem...might be the same for you...

instead of setting the spare tire dead center in the car, they put it off to the left..meaning that there is more weight to the left of the car....meaning it will sit lower....i dunno, just my thoughts

RedneckwithanxB, If the position of the spare tire causes your whole car to lean, I can't imagine what happens when you get in the driver's seat.

hmlbtz, did you personally install them. If so, did you make sure they sat properly in the top rubber bushings? Also, some springs will be a little off at first, but will later settle into a uniform stance.

i had them installed guys, they also said that after a while it'll settled but it hasn't... i'll check the spare but i doubt the spare would cause that much difference.

yeah on mine, it took me pulling out a tape measure to see that it was off 1/4 inch...not much, but something noticable...
