I believe a few weeks ago Dick suggested swapping
the front springs to see if your problem varied or
followed to the other side. If that is not an option
check to see how much body to frame clearance you
have. If the spacers have gone south it would cause
the problem. I can't see that all the spacers on the
drivers' side would wear away equally as your figures
seem to indicate.
