Make sure you did not overtighten your suspension bolts causing it to bind up. and that the crossmember is not bent causing it to bind too.

yeah mine sits level in the front it's just the rear thats 10mm higher on the LH side, i just had a closer look at the spring set up and the seats at the bottom are opposite, the springs start in different places and the seats are angled forward abit i think, so this would cause the springs to be seated at different heights, this was the only thing i could conclude on causing this height difference as everything else is perfect, what do u guys reckon?

Try backing some of the bolts off a bit.

If the rear trailing arm bushings are under a load due to overtightening, this would cause a problem. I'd loosen the bolts on the side that's higher(truck on the ground), and then re-tighten

its hard for just the rear to be off and the front level as they are all connected. when I had a front coil weaken the complete drivers side was lower than the pass. I would go with the overtightened suspension bolts.

Also check for a bad body mount bushing?

Drive the thing over some hard bumps to see if it settles in some.

my coils wernt labled eather. the shokes seem to have a memery.  if i lift on my frount a little it stays but if i move the rig it levels out. is it out of gear and on the ground. also check your parking brake lines. if one is snaged it can pull on the axel.
