Default ride height question????? corner sag??

Today I came out of work and I thought I noticed the rear passenger side wheel well having a smaller gap than the front. So I walked all three corners and all three other corners allowed 3+ fingers between tire and fender, but the rear passenger only allows 2+! What gives, any one else ever had this??? Thanks for any opinions/advice.
Thanks!!!

Uneven pavement can easily cause this appearance. (unequal wheel loading) It doesn't take much! Before you get to worked up, take the car and park it on a level (concrete is probably the best) surface and see if the problem is resolved. Hope this is all it is.
