Default big probelm (help)

ok...so it happened last night when i was painting my calipers

i jacked up the left side of teh car (only have two jack stands)

when i finished one side of teh car (looks really good) i wanted to take the car off the jack stands

so i did...one at a time (i think i should have jacked the middle of teh car and taken off both at once

but heres what happend

the rear drivers side seemed a bit higher than the rear passenger side

and it was (by 1/2 inch)

so i got scared and didnt do teh other side of teh car

now i have to buy another g2 kit to paint teh other side (i dont really mind

but can anyone tell me why the car might be higher (is it cause the spring gets streched a bit when its raised?)

if i drive around a bit will my problem be solved?/

(in teh beginning it was an inch higher..then when i cheked this morning it was only half inch higher)

so i think the spring just needs to be worked in a bit...or maybe it will just be balanced out if i lift the passenger side of the car


should i be scared about this??

No problem at all... Anytime you jack up the car and take the weight off the suspension, it always "strectches" After you drive a couple of miles it will settle back to normal......
