The car still sits 1.25" higher on the passenger side (front and rear). I'm now thinking I must have too much preload in the bars. What is the process of setting these solid mount adjustable bars up and get the car sitting level again? Is there something else that I'm not thinking about? Thanks
There should not be any bind from the bushings if its an aftermarket unit if installed correctly. The only major thing that will change by adjusting the links is the pinion angle and axle center....If I read it right.

Can you tell us about your front suspension? Are the springs seated propery? Equally indexed? How old are they? What type of bushings?

One way to narrow it down would be to jack up the front suspension a support it equally. Then check the rear heights.
