You jack up one wheel at a time? You don't have a pair of jack stands? Have either the front or rear lifted at a time and go from there. No need to lift each corner individually.

It's usually better to jack up either the front or rear if you can, that way the swaybars aren't loaded and it makes adjustments easier.

Has anyone ever experienced a significant difference between drivers side and passenger side spring preloads when trying to set ride height? By this I mean that the spring on one side requires more preload to achieve the same ride height(force) as the spring on the opposite side?

no both side feels the same for is350

It's not unusual to set the front driver side height higher than the passenger side. The weight of each corner of the car varies enough to throw off your wheel gap. This is why guys with lowering springs are often left with less wheel wheel gap on the driver side than the passenger side. The springs are made the same so corner weight is not compensated for.
