The shocks shouldn't have any effect on your rear ride height.

Are both springs seated the same way at the bottom? I know there's a tab on the trailing arm that can 'catch' the bottom of the spring when you're raising the suspension, which keeps the spring from seating properly... I had to fiddle with that some when I swapped springs recently.

If you really want to test this out, you switch the new springs side-to-side to see the results.

FWIW, on my wagon, the ride height in the back was the same on both side with old springs & new; in the front, the passenger side is 1/2" higher than the driver's side... new springs coming soon.
