Sounds fairly wrong to me. Is one set aftermarket, been replaced before etc?

Are the shorter leafs unloaded? A bit of weight will open em up.

Are the mounts the same distance apart. 99% sure they are the same even HJ/FJ/60/62

That's right, are you measuring a straight line between the eyes of the arc length of the spring?

I hope you have some sort of anti inversion fitted or they are likely to invert the first chance you lift a wheel.
