79 c10 leans to passengers side.

Anybody else ever encounter this? I have a 79 c10 swb truck that’s been lowered, springs in the front, flip kit in the rear. The problem is I started noticing a lean to the passengers side. It was a previous duel tank truck and I canceled out the drivers tank, I also removed it. Could the missing tank cause it to lean to the other side? Its about a 3/4 inch lean measured from the bottom of the lower a arm to floor. Would a coil spacer help? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You may want to make sure the springs are in the pockets correctly.

I’ll check it out this weekend. I think I’m gonna try flip flopping the rear leafs and see what it does. Its sits about a 1/2 inch lower in the rear passenger side as well. I just got finished replacing all the cab mounts to try and correct another problem then I noticed this problem. This never ends.

I have this same issue on my 78 SWB. I'm going to cut a coil off of the spring on the front drivers side and I think that will level everything out.
When I look at the way it leans and look at my measurements it seems like the rear drivers sits higher because the front driver is set up higher... so I might not need anything in the rear changed for it to all be level. It measures like it is just tweaked in that nature so the cut coil should get the whole truck level... I hope.

Well let me know how it turns out. I was planning on putting in a 1/4 “coil spacer on the passenger front to see if that would level it. I also thought about taking both front coils off and swapping them, if one was sagging a little it might correct It. I’d appreciate it if you let me know how it turns out.
