Slight lean to the right on my gen 4?

I have a feeling mine does this too, but I haven't looked at it closely. Next time it's on level ground I'll try and measure it.

That's what I had seen, the drives side rear spring (as supplied by Suzuki) is slightly longer on a G3, I believe to compensate for the driver. This rings true of my own standard 2009 which is 10mm higher on the drivers side rear compared to passenger, almost level with driver onboard.
Not sure aftermarket springs do the same, hence they can induce a lean. Can't say I've had an issue so far with sagging standard springs and the Jimny's getting on a bit, but it could happen.
My Land Rover Series 2 has different rate "cart springs" on the rear, the drivers side more curved than the passenger, again to compensate for driver load, that's why I think your Jimnys leaning the wrong way.
Sorry it's not G4 specific, but you would have thought this was a carry over from the G3 as the underpinnings are very similar.
Sorry not much help, you could ask Suzuki what's going on, it's still under warranty.

I"m always looking at mine. Just never gets old. Everytime i go out, i look forward to the drive. Its a real love affair. Corny but true.
I just wish more accessories would come out. I really want a quality bull bar. But all the ones available at the minute are a vit naff. Most hang down belkw the bumper, massively deceeasing approach angle. Oh and a snorkle would be great.
Anyways......

I don't worry about it, I can't tell when I'm sitting in it.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
