by preloading you mean you snugged up the spring/ring so the spring isn't loose with no weigth on.
and by adjust height you mean you adjusted the 'cup' that the shock body rests in....

if all the spring-ring/perch are the same from the top of where the piston comes out, then yes perhaps all the 'cups' weren't even and thats why you had to adjust one.

Drivers' side usually sits lower even if the springs are even around.
