The short answer, because that side of the car is heavier, it is correct and proper, and you should not try to adjust the springs to correct this "problem".
Long answer: The driver's side of the car was lower stock, you just didn't notice because you assumed it was even and its hard to tell with the 4x4 stock wheel gap. The B series engine sits on the driver's side of the car, making that side heavier, making it sit lower on the suspension. If you had a K swap, the other side would be heavier and lower, because that engine sits on the other side of the engine bay. The reason you don't want to adjust the springs to try and level the car is because that will place even more of the vehicles weight on the already heavier side. To raise the low side (heavy side) you'd have to raise the spring perch, forcing that spring to support some of the weight previously supported by the other side, making hte car handle worse.
