Then, you need to verify that the preload is the same in all four shocks. If you have one shock that has more preload (than another on the same axle) you need to start looking for something bent (like a warped A arm).
Once you do all these steps, then you put it on the scales.
Assuming that you did all these steps, I'd be inclined to take a half turn out of the RR and add half a turn to the RF to start.
Followed all of that using a digital caliper to verify prior to weighing. I don't have much control over that particular surface, it's a large wooden kitchen table that seats six. Probably some warp to the wood. Truck is a fresh build and has only been run up and down the street for about a minute.
I still need to add my transponder, so I have some ability to change the bias with where I locate that. Also plan on adding the fan to the RX8 and that will change things as well.
I'm going to add those, and measure again on the absolute flatest surface I have available.... A big huge thick piece of glass
