Default xj lift problem

i have a 2001 XJ that i put a 3in rustys lift that was botched from the beginning, i was sent the wrong rear leafs and it took forever to get the new ones when i finally got them they went on great but i think that the front springs were wron, which i remedied with coil spacers up front. Ever since then my driver side wheel is out a little further than the passenger side. what would cause this? I had recently taken the whole front end apart and tried to see if something was bent or moved over and everything loked in line, it doesnt dog track at all but i notice the about 1 in difference.

to the driver side or the passenger side? it is over to the driver side. is it 3/4 at an angle or straight over? would this cause the driver side knuckle and wheel to be what appears to be leaning out at the top 35 degrees?
