Personally I'd check if there say right and if so go for a long drive and then see... Because when I jack mine up with the diff for cleaning once I put down there different heights also till I drive it and it settles.

100% agree,mine is exactly the same Steve,once it's been jacked up,get some miles on it,then it should all settle into place.
Thanks.Lee.
