Default body height

I realize that my body is 3/4" lower on the driver's side that the right side. What things should be checked out? It seems to ride fine. I believe it is one of the front coil springs that is too low or too high. I will be comparing them to specs. Any imput is appreciated.

After 30 years, the springs on the driver's side yield to the driver's and battery's weight being on one side.
Replace the springs or swap left to right and you'll get back to near level.
