Default Leaning tower of jeep

Has anyone seen/experienced this?

For a few weeks now, ive been thinking my TJ is leaning over to the drivers side a bit. So yesterday, I get out the tape measure, and measure the distance to the floor of my garage from the ends of my bumper (front and rear), and found that the bumper ends were nearly 10mm lower on the drivers side.

Now I know that I am the only in the thing 90% of the time, but I am being a bit paranoid? It's visibly noticeable (to me anyway, before I measured it), so are the shocks/springs sagging on that side or what?

It's going in for its 1st service next week, and I want some opinions before I go.

For the Jambo guys, have a great time..

coil sag is very common, but you can get 10mm coil spacers to even it up if it a concern - dont know wher you live but i think you can get then at ARB. if you in brisy you can get then at fourby's at moorooka

How many K's has it done? (your suspension)
I have had after market suspension fitted to my 2004 Wrangler and I was told that it would sag over the next 3000k"s so I will have to go back for a tweak.
How many K's has your Jeep done.

Mine was doing it when it was a few months old. I took it back to dealer and he said it was normal...springs probably wearing in. It think it's settled down now.
