Mine leans quite a bit even before I get in it (I'm I'm not light). My springs were brand new not long ago either.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

they all seem to do it.

it annoyed me so when I wasn't using the truck I would leave it on axle stands with the drivers side
wheels dangling down. this did work so at the weekend it would sit level :lol:

over time it would lean again.
