Default Un-even lift question

Hi,

I installed my RE BB a couple weeks ago, and just noticed something today. For the rear, the wheel gap between the left and right side is not the same (the pasanger side being a tad higher - more wheel gap).

I assume this is becuase of the shifting of the axle?

Just wanted to hear from the expert out there. If this is the case, i'm not going to worry about anything, since i'll be getting an adj. trackbar soon

Usually the passenger side height will vary, due to the amount of fuel in the fuel tank which is under the passenger side.

Are both springs fully seated in the spacers?
...are the spacers fully seated?

(I'm not an expert...was just a thought)

I can understand that, but even with full fuel tank, the passanger rear side is still a tad "higher" than the driver side.

I put the exact same lift on my JK and it measures 1/2" difference from on side to other.
