Uneven settling

I posted this on ttora while YT was down and only have one response so far, so back to faithful YT!

I drove around for probably 6 days with 4 33" tires on steel wheels in the bed of my truck on the driver's side. I had no option to take them out during that time. This trip included a long road trip. Anyway, because of the uneven weight, the truck is leaning to the driver's side as shown in the picture below. It isnt really severe or anything but still annoys me. is there anything I can do? Not too long before it I had done the Chevy spring swap so im sure the added weight made them settle more quickly on that side. thanks!

does anyone have any ideas on this? im noticing it more and more lately. i measured the wheel gap today and found that my drivers side is a full inch lower than the passenger side. and looking at my UCAs, there is a huge visible difference in their angles.

Put them back in your truck on the passenger side for a few days?

I had a slight problem like that. I just went out and wheeled the piss out of it, now everything is settled perfectly. The uneven weight maybe made one side settle much faster than the other.
