You can pull the passenger side overload leaf to level it out, but you may run into problems with the axle bottoming out on the framem if you carry heavy loads or take bumps at fast speeds!

i think just pulling one overload would mess up the whole rear end. i wouldn't advise that.

I think my passenger side is maybe half an inch higher. Definitely had more travel with that shock mount. I think it's something you just gotta deal with. And if you pull the helpers do them both. Don't half *** ****. And you will have frame slapping problems with both of them out. Notches recommended and of course you'll have to take it easier anyway

eibach makes a spacer to level it out, you put it on top of your front spring, i think its about $25-$30.

my truck now has ~3/5 drop and sits level, didnt sit level with 3/3 drop though
