Drivers side fender higher in rear

I found many with the wider tires or have been lowered having the drivers side rear fender sit higher. Everyone says its pretty much the norm with little help. Is there anyone who found an easy fix for this?

Is it still high when you ballast down by sitting in the driver's seat!! More seriously, a small amount of relief may be found by rotating the rears springs in their seats and changing whether the coil ends are facing front or rear. ISTR someone writing there is a preferred orientation (facing front?) but when letting the rear hang on the shocks I found by turning the driver side spring I could slightly (~1/4") change the static height in the rear. BTW, I had done the "replace the rubber spring isolators with heater hose" mod which lowered both sides ~1/4". I suppose you could try that just on the driver's side too.
