What could cause the driver side on my '67 2wd to lean like 1 1/2-2" lower then the passenger side?

tires has exact same pressure and heighth and on level ground.

ball joints? control arm bushings? i have a mess.

well you guys were definately right....Removed drivers side spring.
It broke about 2 coils off the top of the spring.
im gonna be cutting these anyways to lower it a bit,is it okay to cut from the top? i seen its a smaller coil at the very top...
