Here I go

It’s a gangster lean, embrace it :D

how are your bump cans connected to the frame? I’m use to seeing them boxed in or recessed into the frame.
Think so iono man don’t seem right . I may have mounted them wrong but I just welded them straight to the frame?:dunno::dunno:
 
I don’t have any personal experience but I’ve noticed the pinch bolts for the cans are usually outside and the can itself is usually braced with some flat steel. Do you have pads built on the axle side for those bumps to land on?

here’s a can mounted for reference

After what you said I went out and looked at it I think I’m definitely gonna put some gussets on the back side of the can .
 
Yes it will pretty much stay up when I lift it.
I wonder if you have a weak front leaf spring.
They’re brand new leafs from last year so not so new but only two trips on them .

If it stays where you put it I wonder if there is binding at the links hinge point?
So you say it's leaning, you lift it to level it and it stays level right?

No it drops I was just asking Eddie to see if his stayed mine does not . Who knows I may have messed the driver side spring up doesn’t take much to make it fall .

Yeah I figured yours didn't I was confirming his did.
I wonder if your springs are not identical.
Try swapping side to side
We have seen it with leaf springs it can happen with coils too.
If not then you have more weight on one side.

I was thinking the same thing about the weight would it be weird to have one coil adjusted more than the other preload wise to level it I think I’m just gonna ride it ?

It’s totally normal to have preload more in one corner than the other if your rig isn’t perfectly balanced.
