left sags because of the drivers weight. All cars are like this. If you measure the front and compare left and right the right will always be higher on a used car

sound s a bit low but I guess might depend on the age of the car, mileage, and weight of the driver . Springs sag over time. Is your car a high mileage F ?

when you are measuring the difference I am assuming its on a level surface ?? Never heard of another ownber with this complaint. My F is a 2010 with 41k on it and I do feel like my rear left corner doesnt feel as stiff as the the rear right. Probably due to wear from the driver and my 280 lb asymmetry to the balance of the car

No matter what I did to adjust the rear, the car would not settle evenly on all 4 corners. I eventually gave up lol

If your camber is off from one side to the other won't this affect ride height? Even by a small amount? If so, this plus the "factory sag" may amount to the 3/4".
I swear with my last alignment my ride height was more level afterwards.
I have BC coilovers and I adjust those ****ers constantly, always looking for the perfect stance. One week I want it higher. The next I want it lower. That's a lie, I never want it higher
Good luck
