Did you just install new shocks on the one side? If you did, it probably will be uneven since you have one side now that's new and another that is not.

Did you check your springs to make sure one isn't broken? I had a Buick I got from my grandfather, and it had been repaired by a pro shop after he had a wreck, yet it kept bottoming out on one side, so I looked and noticed it was lower, and found the spring was broken, the rust indicating it had been that way since the wreck.

Another possibility is the spring is clocked/seated wrong on one side making that side taller.
