I know it baffles me too. I can only assume that it decides to sit one way or the other. Probably find my fronts are sagged on one side which translates to the back also.

If you're gonna check ride height make sure it's on a flat and level surface. I find it hard to believe that one spring would sag noticeably more than the other, they'll have come off the same machine consecutively, made with the same batch of metal on the same day, to the same spec!

if i measure from the floor pan to the leaf spring on each side that should show me that it's sagging right?
hopefully if i put my lowering blocks in it will change it, or im going to have one scrapping side ha

^^^ as long as it's on a FLAT, LEVEL surface yes. Lowering blocks will do nothing to improve things.

Cant help with the leaning, but i'd say keep the spoiler, back end looks a bit plain otherwise imo

Ye, your best off taking some measurements before you go assuming things, but if the shock isnt collapsed it would be the sring. Are you driving it around much?

Shock absorber,the clue is in the name.
How would a weak shock effect how a stationary car sits??
Or am I missing something here.

S(h)agged spring.
Here's how mine was sitting with the same issue.
Mine is more noticeable due to smaller diameter wheels.
