Are you trying to say or ask "it's not level from left to right side" ? If so it might be, so have someone snap a picture with you in drivers seat to compare. I've had a few vehicles that set higher on left side until someone is in drivers seat. Probably part of reason the springs on JT's are marked for which side of vehicle it's for.

Tires are straight, vertical. It's the truck that sits less than perfectly horizontal. The springs themselves are stronger on one side - the right side, more weight there until the driver gets in.
Check the part numbers on the springs. For example, with a Rubicon the rears may end with 450 or 451. The higher number will be on the right side.
Same for any level JT - the spring with the higher number is on the right side.
Is your fuel tank empty?
Is your home near any ancient Aztec burial site?
Are there strong iron deposits under your home?

(In fact, if you look at the parts books for my cars, the OEM springs are quite often not the same left to right. That's why I hate replacements for them - they only make them identical left to right so they are never like factory. )

It's a optical illusion due to lighting... more likely. Unless you have been out jumping ramps with it. :like:
