Left Rear sag after front leveling kit installed

I have a 2006 4WD V8 Sport with the XRES suspension. I installed the Daystar 1" front budget boost leveling kit. The before measurements were Front- 33.75" both sides, Left rear- 36", Right rear 35.75" After I installed the kit the front on both sides were 35.25", left rear 35.25" and the right rear 36". I installed a OME 10mm leveling spacer on the left rear, but that did not really change anything. I ordered a new rear coil spring from Toyota, but that only brought it up about .25". I then installed a Cornfed .75" spacer along with the new coil spring and now it is almost 36". Anyone know what is going on here? What am I missing?

There's a lot more weight on that side (driver, gas tank, battery, etc) and it's pretty common for it to be lower than the passenger side. Most use a 1" or 1.5" spacer on the driver rear to correct. Did you happen to fill up with gas between taking the measurements?
 
Before the lift I had about 1/4 tank of gas. I did fill up afterwards, but if my memory is correct it was sagging before I filled up. Never noticed it sagging before the lift when I would fill up, but never measured it until I installed the lift.
 
Does anyone with a non lifted 4Runner know if your left rear sags after your fill up with gas? Have you ever measured it? If so what are the measurements with a empty tank and with a full tank.
 
i noticed this with my runner today swell, i have a daystar 2.5/1.5 kit and the left rear has a slight sag to it.
 
maybe a inch or so, but i honestly think the drive way i was on had a slight lean because i pulled into several places tonight and looked at it and it seemed fine. i have 3/4 tank full, but i don't think gas tank will add that much weight to just the left rear.
