Question Expy leans on one side

My friend kept saying my expy leans but there is a grade in my driveway. So I finaly broke out the measuring tape and he was right. It leans one inch lower on the passenger side front and back. I am sure because I measured the wheel well to the ground. I know it shouldnt lean, but is this typical or unusual? Also, should I replace the springs to fix this when I redo the struts?

Did you park it backwards in the same spot and measure again? You have to do this to be sure it's leaning and is not the result of uneven ground. Also, measure the wheel well to the top of the tire to rule out different wear amounts or inflation differences with the tires.
