I got recommendations to get front-camber arms, but I need to know the issue first because I believe one side is sitting lower than the other. I measured the bottom of the wheel to the fender and it's off by a 1/4 of an inch on one side. people are telling me it's a bad strut, I just can't seem to wrap my head around the issue. Any recommendations would highly be appreciated.
Are the springs new? There's suppose to be some settling period on new springs. I can also see bad struts causing it to sag also.

I actually had H&R springs before the swift springs and I thought maybe I had a bad spring,that was the reason I purchased the swift springs and the same issue still occurred.

gotcha, i had H&R springs and it was an even drop front to rear for me. Love those springs.

Since the shocks weren't changed between the two springs, I'd point to those.

Can you push down on one side more than the other?

Yes the one side that has more camber is way stiffer then the other side. I tried bouncing them both but it’s not the same.
