May have to remove a conduit one the right side to let it sit level then. The left front is what gave me problems on that one lift as well. I ended up raising that side to match the left and its been fine ever since ( or the last time I talked to her Dad)

Is the slope obvious when looking straight on the front grill / hood? I'd be interested to put a digital angle finder on there and get some readings.

3/8" difference in front: how much of this could be attributed to how the flares hug the fender and how accurately you're finding the center of the rim with your tape measure? It just doesn't seem like very much.

3/4" in the rear is a little more formidable.

We took measurements from center of wheel to fender.

From the front, it is unnoticable. From the rear it is visible. I will snap some photos this weekend.

I will remeasure this weekend.

Like Tom said, try to measure the spaces between coils and compare them from side to side. Also the total length of the spring at each position. Photo's would help too. It would show if a coil is compressing more or if it lies somewhere else.

I'd like to see if on any particular spring if some of the turns of the coil are closer together than others, indicating a flaw or weak spot at one location.

Get some good measurements of all springs, in between the coils, then also pick two spots on the frame one above one below, each corner.
Now if you have time put a jack under say the left front and raise it a little and see if that affects both front and rear or just front, now do the rear the same way taking a little bit of weight off of the suspension, doesn't take much.
May take some time to actually find out which one it is.
