Default lifted?

i just got my shackles installed and cranked the torsion bars. took it to the mechanic for an alignment and i checked the torsion bolts and noticed the drivers side was where i cranked it to and the passenger side is now stock level again.

my problem is i havent noticed a difference in height at all from side to side or where it was before the alignment. could the alignment have thrown off my lift at all and not be able to notice?

The shop could of messed with your torsion bars to get it to spec out easier.

Yeah I would say the shop adjusted it. I told them not to touch them when I went in for my alignment. At least you are still at the same height tho.
