It's my guess that either you are looking at normal manufacturing variations, or
your bolts are distorted from being unevenly tightened.

At any rate, I checked several from my parts bin, and they all appear to be even
within 1/16" or so.

Eh.  Put the long side on the back, in case you add a rear sway bar later.
Otherwise, I don't think it makes any difference.
