well im almost finished with the lift, and the drivers side drops 1.5 inches lower the the passenger side, is this due to the way that i installed the rad. arms?
 
There is more weight on the drivers side axle beam as the differential is bolted to it.

I find the same thing happens on my 5" lift.
 
oh okay then its not just my immagination... this makes sence. thanks guys!
 
Add 100lbs of steel to the passenger side beam??!!
 
Drivers side beam is longer as well.

This does come into play somewhat if you have extended radius arms.
With stock arms the axis of movement is kept symmetrical on both sides by purposely having the beams different lengths due to the driverside beam pivot being mounted further forward than the one for the passengerside beam. Extended arms do upset this symmetry very slightly, but it's not enough for virtually anyone to notice while driving, whereas the benefits of such arms are very easily observed.
