Default Car not level after installing 1" lift rods...

I just installed the Proud Rhino 1" lift rods from Lucky8LLC. Super easy install. However, what i am finding is that the right side of the car is now sitting lower than the left side, by almost an inch, in all height settings.

I have a 2020 110 HSE.

Is there anything i can do to reset the calibration, or will it self adjust after a specific amount of driving? I have a Gap tool.

There are no fault codes pertaining to any suspension or drivetrain modules.

Did you put the rods in the right locations?

Step 1: Throw lift rods in trash and pop in OEM
Step b: Use GAP tool to lift or lower as needed.
Step iii Profit.

Yeah, all in the correct spots. I think i am going to take it for a drive and see if anything changes on the heights.

Great advice! Wish i had done a little more research before it! Thankfully, they are not that expensive. I kept the OEM ones.
