spring shackles, car leaning question?

[1BAD68]

My car is 3/4" lower on the drivers side front and rear, I just installed new leaf springs and it lifted the rear almost 3" but still is 3/4" lower on drivers side.
I was looking underneath and noticed that the passenger side rear spring shackle is just about vertical while the driver side rear shackle is at like 11 o'clock - 5 o'clock.
I played with the torsion bars turning them in equally, out equally and drivers side in more than pass. side but its still 3/4" lower on drivers side, its driving me nuts.
Any ideas?

I had the same exact situation on the passenger side, and did the same thing(new springs) and kept jacking the t bars and it finally fixed the issue.
I'm trying to understand the shackle thing.  You mean vertical to the ground right?  The drivers side 11-5 meaning the bottom is pointing forward toward the front?  Maybe the rear end is no longer centered left to right? but how would that kill the ride height, hmmm.

Maybe you have too much tire stagger on the right side.  That was a funny but now that I think of it, i'm guessing you have checked tire pressures and such?

I really had to wind the t bars to get him right but everything is straight now.

actually I mean 11 0'clock - 5 o'clock with the bottom more towards the rear.
I found this http://www.afcoracing.com/tech_pages/leaf.shtml and it has some good info for installing.
I never checked for leaf twisting when I bolted the new leafs in.
It also looks like my drivers side is ok according to the illustrations but the pass. side may be the problem.
I'm going to loosen them up and re-do it according to the instructions and see what happens.
I keep thinking the torsion bars should be adjusted equally.

How much does the motor and trans weigh?  How much are they offset to the pass. side?  Where is the battery?  How much does the driver weigh and where does he sit?  Do you see what I'm talking about?  If one side of the rear is low, crank the opposite front side, or lower the same front side.  Unless there is something broken or binding, this is how it works.

ok I cranked the drivers side torsion bar 4 turns in and left the pass. side where it was and the car is level,
but I'm wondering if thats ok to have the torsion bars set at different levels?
