Yes there is a reason but find out yourself. Advice is free, but if you choose to ignore it that is your problem.

There’s about 12 years of him saying it again and again. You’ll see when search is back.
If it’s better than it was and you are happy then no worries

Has been known to stop it dancing at the lights.

The variance in readings from the sensors across the axle is critical because that's the way the EAS software is written to expect them.

Obviously a smart arse Keith let him find out for himself.

I did provide civil input you replied with a yawn and said my input did not matter. You have a lot to learn my friend that is all i have to add.

I didn't say that your input didn't matter Wammers- although granted it could have been read that way - I meant that the 2 step difference doesn't matter as far as I can see, hence the EAS heights are programmable in the ECU, within an expected range (which I don't know, but is way more than 2 steps wide for each ride height). If the difference is more than 2 steps what are you suggesting? New sensors? My yawn was out of being multi-teamed by you guys.

I was giving you good info, you poohooed it, there is a reason that the fronts need to be set no more than two bits side to side, rear doesn't matter. You will find out when your car enters TVs greatest dancer competition.
You seem to think that just because I registered on LZ two weeks ago that that's when I first got a P38, wammers. Quite simply, that's not true. Or if it is my P38 has developed a special immunity

You did not answer the OP's question, you actually just suggested using calibration blocks as an attempt to overcome what is obviously a fault. The car leans but recovers when driven, that could be a duff sensor, corroded connections to the sensor or a leaking airspring. Sitting it on calibration blocks will achieve nothing because the car recovers to level when driven so how would the calibration be a problem?

Look you carry on no problem. But i will say again the front bit counts should be within 2 bits side to side. At least that's what Land rover say but what do they know. You obviously don't know as much as you think you know. When Land rover set the EAS in the factory they only use two sets of blocks one to set access height and one to set standard height. They set the front bit count within 2 bits side to side. It is important to do that. I don't care how long you have had a P38 you obviously don't know why that is. Until you do stop giving out duff info.
As you say, LR set up brand new P38s within 2 bits of one another - very possibly - but the sensors and cars were brand new. I bet you if we do a survey of front height settings now on 20 yo sensors most people will have a difference of more than 2 bits on the front axle.
