Mine was leaning when I bought it. The dealer adjusted the torsion bars; mechanic said there are different settings for different tire sizes. Previous owner had changed sizes but didn't have the bars adjusted.

FL98....

My 98 Explorer leaned and my new F150 SuperCrew leans. One thing in common is the location of the gas tanks on both vehicles is on the driver's side. I think that, in conjunction with the weight of the driver, will weaken the driver's side leaf spring. However, both of these vehicles were only 3/4 inch off versus your 1 1/2 inch sag.
