Drivers side or passenger side?
Left facing the front or left facing the back?
How much are we talking about? A millimeter, an inch, a foot?

Passenger front and left passenger rear id say it’s about an inch lower than the right
Are all the springs in the correct places? I know on US trucks the passenger and driver sides springs are different lenghts

They were second hand springs so I’m not sure if they are
First place to check. One spring is larger to compensate for the fuel tank on that side. Try swapping rears
Gas tank is on left, cruiser lean is a real thing - usually .5 to .75 of an inch.
Some springs are designed for each side. My OME springs weren't side specific, so I used a 15mm packing spacer to make sure I didn't get the cruiser lean. Some of the progressive rate coils do a better job of balancing out the gas tank weight too.
Not to insult anyone's capabilities for installing anything but there are a few install things you can do that will cause one side to sit higher as well.
1. If you haven't spun your coils on the perch until the coil end hits the notch, the spring may not be fully seated.
2. On top of the spring is a rubber isolator as well to reduce vibration transmitting through the coil. If it gets "folded" while installing the spring it can cause things to not sit level.
