Default Bent leaf spring?
So my 95 leans on the left side and the leafs are settled more on the left. Would a bent spring cause this?

it is missing the left front shock. But it has SkyJacker leveling springs. Could the shock being missing cause it to lean like that? All of the rest of the shocks are shot too

Pick an account and stick with it... the missing shock could definitely cause it to lean

Mine does the same thing - leans to one side. I just figured the leafs were old, tired, and lost some bounce in their old age - just like me!! Is it possible that over time, they lose some "springy-ness"?
