4" lift leaning towards drivers side

So I just installed a 4" leaf lift from rough country with new leafs and shocks in all four corners on my 1972 Jimmy. Now, my truck is leaning approx. 1" to the drivers side. Front looks to be a bit more then 1" and the rear is approx. 1". Any suggestions? I put the new steering raising arm on and everything is tightened down. I've driven it approx. 1 mile and the lift has been on for about 2 weeks sitting in the garage waiting on the final parts so it's had time to settle. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 4" lift leaning towards drivers side

Did you tighten the leaf spring bolts before the truck was on the ground? That could cause the springs to bind. Try loosening all the leaf spring bolts so the truck settles before retightening.

Thanks 72gmguy, that's a great idea as I did tighten everything before putting it back on the ground.
