The front coil springs are indeed side specific, the springs should be marked as such (all my lift coils are marked pass or drivers). Always replace springs in pairs or you will end up with a lean again. Yes your lean is being caused by the broken leaf pack.

My 2 cents: Just replaced a broken drivers side leaf in my truck, went to a spring shop and got a piece of stock with a similar curvature cut to size. Took apart the leaf pack, put new leaf in and truck sits level on both sides. Was going to replace the whole pack with one from the JY but I would've had to drop a full gas tank to access the front perch bolt. Cost me $30 and some time
