try n swap the springs left to right to start with, see if it leans the same on the other side, then u could try and add a leaf or 2 to the sagged pack n put that pack on the driverside

It can be a problem. Basicaly its because you have more weight on the DS and because the engine torque rolls towards the drivers side. You either need more camber(arch) on the DS springs or more leaves. Also the torque rod on the front diff can cause this if its still fitted.

I found no matter what i did on the old lux it always sagged on driver's side after a while, at it's worst i had 4'' sag on driver side measuring to the sill's.
The torque,petrol tank, batt and driver all being on the same side i think has a lot to do with it, but if you've done the ol backyard job were you have your shock's going to the 1 point at the top, have you set bump stop's up ? Cause if your shock is stoping when your spring has more upward travel in it, It's gunna twist and bend and add to the problem i think.

LOL ISOT ( im so outta touch ) with whats going on in the BB ( bulletin board, not big brother )
sad thing is tony i was thinking of you as in RUF. but not in the same way scotty thinks of you.
anyway, my RUF's sagged almost right away. i left the truck flexed up on the oposite spring for a week and it leveled it out, sat lower and was more farked up than before. i need to replace the front springs again but they work well, the sagging doesnt bother me and im too lazy.
