So I reinstalled the shocks and went to fill up. After I pulled up to the pumps but before I started filling I measured and both sides = 26.5". After I filled up both sides measured 26.5".

Went back home and measured and the 1/2" diff was back. So all that was for nothing. Moral of the story is make sure you have a flat and level area to take your measurements.

Well, at least I am intimately acquainted with my suspension setup.

Similar problem when I was doing this-I have BC BR's and 12k/11k swifts. Some of it can be the surface, also if you let your car down off the lift and don't move it or roll it out, you can expect to lose a good 1/2" once you have rolled out the binding.

Also everytime I have removed the top 3 nuts and put them back on, clunk. I drive it for a day or 2 or 3, retighten the bolts and find I usually have sometimes almost a full turn of play in them.
