I have been reading the forum about body lean be associated with drivers weight and fuel tank weight. My question is that I just put on new rear springs, shackles and brackets and it still leans. I didn't replace the shocks so would that be the problem?? Left sits at 35" and right side sits at 36".
 
Stick a washer or two (1-3/8" I.D.) as a shim under the driverside front coil spring perch. Should level it right out.
 
I had the same problem with my truck and I found out it was the leaf spring.
My truck is twenty years old and has a huge lift kit on it. My driver side rear was off by three inches!

All of the sag was caused by the weight of the gas tank on that side, and over the years it wore down the leaf spring. To prevent the same thing happening twice I added one more leaf to that side of the truck, after I put a new spring in.

I'm not saying you should do the same, I'm just telling you what I did to my
truck.
