Default Synergy springs sagging!! Please help

Have a 16' hard rock. I started with zone 3" lift springs and the ride was horrible. So i spent the money and bought synergy springs. Loved them at first but within a month my rear right corner was sagging a bit over a 1/2". Now another month later the front right is beginning to sag also. I am so frustrated!!! I called synergy and they said that is perfectly ok as far as they give a fudge. They see it every day and will do nothing about it! So what are my options? Trt a third set of springs from someone else? Spring spacers? Open to any suggestions. Thanks for your help.

this very noticeable at 50 yards. The whole side sags down leaning the right side down. Idk why mine has this issue but the 10k others i see dont have a lean. I dont mind settling but leaning the whole jeep looks horrible.

Most lean 1/2-3/4" on the right. If it bugs you add a spacer. I run a 1/2" spacer on passenger front in my 2.5" rock krawler lift and recently installed a 1" spacer same side in back on his 3.5 aev lift.

The fuel tank and battery are on the passenger side so it's common for a parked JK without a driver to sit lower on the passenger side. As far as I know they all do this.

I have front spacers on top of my springs to compensate for extra weight of accessories I added up front. The passenger spacer is a 1.5" and the driver spacer is a 1". This pretty much fixed my lean depending on how much fuel I have.

I adjust the passenger side sway bar up and stiffen the shock a little more on that side also.

X2 on i think we all lean on that side, so we compensate
