by an inch an half lower, do you mean the arch or the sill. the arch may not be sitting right. i have this problem on mine but the sills and everything measure the same on both sides

Was it parked on level ground when you measured it? Got a sub in the boot?

if it sat level with the old springs in and one is bigger than the other then something might be wrong m8, could be as simple as one of the springs is broken or worst case axle is fucked or chassis is twisted.
