Replaced Front Passenger Air Strut -- Do I need a reset?

Did a search and did not find anything on my query.

I recently replaced the front passenger air strut (on an '06 4.8IS) with a remanufactured unit from Arnott. The old one had a pin hole leak that made the truck sag in the front.

The install was successful, the pump filled the new bag with air, and the truck rose up. Checked for leaks and everything is good.

The issue I'm noticing is that the passenger side visibly sits what looks to be 1" lower than the driver's side. There's less of a tire gap on the passenger side (the one that got the strut replaced), the strut stem just below the bag is a lot more hidden, and from the front of the truck, it visibly leans a bit more to the left.

Checked the 7.5 and 30 fuses in the trunk, they're good.

What am I missing? Do I need to take it to the dealer to reset (if there is such a procedure) or am I missing an added step to wrap up the install?


Thank you!
