Not to send off any alarm bells, but I do think that 1 inch more preload to make up for 5/8" driver side lean is quite excessive. Now I wish i could point to something for you to check out, but there is not any reason you should have to have it cranked 1" more on one side to make up for 5/8" lean. That should be maybe 2 turns of the coilover, three at the VERY most to make up for that.
That 2" preload makes you almost maxed out on one side... not right in my opinion. I also think that with 2" of thread showing, you should be higher than 23" also. I have 2" threads showing on both of mine, and with that I'm at 23" with a hybrid bumper, 10,000 lb. winch, and lightbar up front which dropped the front about 1/2" from the weight.
I wouldn't worry too much about the 23" you are getting on both sides now, as much as having one side cranked so much over the other. I just thought I would add that detail, just to give you an idea on what height someone else is getting!
Your mileage may vary, but that is just my 2 cents.
