Pretty much as the title says, replaced rear springs and the drivers side sits about 1.5" higher. I thought I installed everything right, it was a pretty quick job and all. If I'm not mistaken there are no alignment pockets correct?

After you double check and make sure everything is installed right if there is still a difference you can use one of these to bring the low side up.

1.5"? that's a big difference,these rear springs are a slam dunk.switch them left to right see if you can replicate these results.if you can replicate the results,swap the original springs back in and see what's doing.

Once you change all the springs if you still are having this problem, get some air bags to even the ride height.
