is it normal for the bolt on one side to be maxed out while the other bolt has plenty more to go??

i was going for the full 2" but the bolt on the driver side wouldnt crank up anymore after about 1.5". I had to crank down the passenger side a few times to try an even it out but its still about a half inch higher than the driver side.

People tell me that ive probably bent something while offroading but im hoping that its just because one bolt is shorter for some reason....
 






bolts are probably the same size.... however, it is completely normal to have one maxxed out while the other still has a lot more room to go...
 






also...

i know that going too far will cause premature wear of the CVs. Is having one bolt as far as it will go too far?? or is it only based on how many inches of lift its giving
 






well, the cvs should be fine... many have 2" or so without problems... i would be more concerend about having one side maxed out at 2" and doing hte other side to whatever it maxes out at.. unlevel truck...... normally though, a tt shouldnt be pushed more than 1.5" or else there will literally be no suspension travel.......
