Swap the springs over. It will lean to the passenger side for a bit but then probably balance out.

As Dan says just have to swop the springs over.

Very common problem

Few options are

- become a gangster
- swap springs over
- marry a fat bird
- when not in use leave on axles stands with drivers side wheels hanging
- drive only on roads with lots of camber.

Some are more practical than others.
Financial expense of being gangsta' should be considered first.

Mine is leaning to the driver side even with out me in it so I took the rear springs off and noticed the more curved spring was already on the driver side :er: but people say when driving down the road that it is leaning to the driver side quite a bit

Plus my rear springs should be 1" higher than standard but they have gone to standard hieght naw and the truck is leaning back aswell lol
