I have to measure first and see which springs are sagging, exactly, and
how bad.  I can see the lean, but that's not a very precise way to judge.

I figured I'd pull down on both right side springs just enough to make
them match the springs on the left.

I hadn't thought about pulling the the fronts down as well to eliminate
the rake towards the rear.  I don't find it objectionable on my van, but
I might decide to do that later if I level it side to side with good
results.

Part of it is that while sites that are level front to back are rare, ones
that are level side to side are fairly common.  It gets old having to put
boards under the wheels on the left side to make the van level when I'm
camping on flat ground. ;)
