Lowering / Autoride YXL Denali Questions

Got the Ground Force kit and installed the rear springs myself with
the dealership installing the front torsion bar adjusters.

When I got home the front was LOW almost slammed looking (no gap between the top of the tire and fender lip).

Started to tighten up the front adjuster bolts and started to bring the front up.

Here is my problem:

The DRIVERS side is still about a quarter inch - 3/8 of an inch from being level with the rear (without driver), and I have the adjuster bolt ALL the way in.

The passengers side spot on with the front and rear @ 34.5" with only about 3 full turns LEFT in the bolt. Based on this I guess my front ride quality is VERY stiff (?)

What are my options to get it LEVEL?

I was thinking that the dealership installed the adjusters wrong and was wondering if they could be repositioned on the square end of the torsion bar a quarter of a
turn, allowing to back the bolt almost all the way out, and start raising from there
(but would it then be VERY VERY stiff?
Possible that they did NOT let the adjuster hang down below the cross brace and instead had it tucked up in the cross brace channel when they installed it on the bar end?

OR

Should I try to adjust the rods on the auto ride to trick it and LOWER the rear so I can loosen, thereby lower the front to match the "lowered" rear?
Any thoughts?
Sorry for the novel!
Thanks

Hi,
please clarify. RPO Z55 - Autoride aka 'real time damping' changes the shock absorber valving.
Do you have self leveling with a compressor by the rear axle?
Take care, Eggert

Self Leveling with compressor and air shocks (Autoride) and Stabilitrack

I'm thinking tricking the self leveling, just need to know whether shortening or lengthening the rods (screwing the ball receivers on the rod to shorten, screw them off to lengthen the rod) on the sensors lowers the truck.

Thanks!
