That's my understanding of the process. You can either 1) have ride height exactly as you want and damn the corner weights, 2) or corner jack the car with the springs to correct corner weights and possibly skew the ride heights in the process, or 3) try to shift weight physically around in the car platform to correct corner weights and permit uniform ride height. If the car wasn't designed and built around door number 3, then you are left with door number 1 or door number 2.
