What can cause my 1987 4runner to lean to the right? Measuring from the ground up to the fender well, there is over an inch difference. Just installed new OME 2 inch lift springs in rear and bj spacers up front. I backed the tbars completely off and it is still leaning. It does have a full tank of gas on that side. Can that be it? What to do?

Is it leaning more in the front or the back? Is there a difference in angle on the rear shackles?
I suspect a stiff bushing on the new rear suspension, and that it'll settle out as you drive it.

Yes, there is a difference in the shackle angles. I thought it may be in the bushings or something and tried some ditch crossing at an angle hoping to "work it out", but nothing. Don't want to drive it much until the alignment is corrected. BJ spacers have got my front tires pushed out at the top right now. What if later, if it doesn't settle out, can I add a leaf or 2 to one side without causing other problems?

If it doesn't settle out, then either the springs are defective (not likely), or there's something else causing it, and personally I'd want to track that down instead of slapping a bandaid on it. But I think it'll be fine. It took several weeks of daily driving for my OME to relax when I installed it.
