Zooks seem to have a natural drivers side lean.
Check out cofap shocks. Jackaroo rears and hilux fronts i think they were.
cheers

zoox have the fuel tank, spare tyre and the driver on the same side, add this to the extra torque twist effect, and sagging rear right is common..could just be a twisted body/chassis, mines never sat right...I run and extra leaf on my rear right, sits level and also stops the left front picking up....dont forget the front springs can affect the lean, too, even more so than the rear. some front spring mounts are not at same height, (pumpkin in the way) and some spring makers don't allow for it... christover (only a mere 110KG but a shadow of the man big steve is

Put three cartons of beer on passenger side . This side will now sag. This weight is your baseline. Drink the beer to adjust the baseline. problem fixed.
(I must be bored this morning!)

My leaves are sagged to the max, load leaf has been chopped, just put coils under it to retain the height. Much better now!
