Weight balance could also be a factor.

With modern TC layouts we have the cells down one side and electrics down the other. Depending on the type of battery/electrics you have, and where you have to locate them on the chassis, you probably won't have an even left/right weight balance.

If the weight balance is out you will need to compensate for this with shock pre-load. Unfortunately, if you then need a significant difference in pre-load from left to right you will get the mis-match in chassis ride heights and droop settings you refer to.

Try to get the weight balance equal. Mark the centreline of the chassis and balance it on two upturned drawing pins (if you don't have chassis balance pins). Move your electrics about or change your cell position or add stick on weights to get an even left/right balance. Once you have done this, then you can check the rest of the build geometry.

Hope this helps,

James
