Driver's Side Lean

I just got home an hour ago. I put a jack under the front shackle of the rear spring and jacked it up so that the rear was completely even. Front shock stroke came within 1/16" of each other and the front fender to ground measurement came within 1/4".
If this is a flawed way of testing, please let me know. But it looks to me like sagging rear springs.

I'm not sure I'd classify it as sagging rear spring.
From the data I provided in a previous post, it's compressing more due to the 60lb front side to side differential and the 80lb rear side to side differential, 140lbs total. And that was with me playing driver seat dummy, so a four bagger at the time. Curb only it's fairly even, but springs can take a set.
If you flipped rear springs side to side you might get the same, or an improvement. You can try that, or you can shim.
