The interesting view before I took it apart, the drivers side spring was almost flat and the passenger side had a nice bow down to the wheel.

I would think the rear leaf spring should look the same on both sides. The "flat" driver's side sounds suspicious.
Usually, I don't worry about asymmetrical measurements when suspension is just hanging. I suppose that might provide a clue, but you really only care about things when the springs are holding the full weight of the car.
My earlier quest for the symmetrical picture - I was thinking of a picture taken from the area under the license plate, facing forward. That might provide clues about what is different on one side compared to the other. For instance, are the camber adjustments similar from side to side (same orientation)?
I see you have the tie rod unhooked in your picture above. Anything going on there? Unhooked on the other side, too?

I don't notice any unusual bends in the ARB in the picture. I seem to remember that's what mine looks like, too.
