Would that be a bandaid to the potentially larger problem of having "weakened springs"?

You could just go ahead and replace the springs but in my opinion if there is that much difference in the space where the springs sits you could probably still have that leaning issue. A spacer could level the low side even.

Here's an interesting thought if I'm replacing springs... could I get 6" springs instead of the 4" front springs I already have to add additional lift to the truck or does it not work that way without changing other stuff as well?

I strongly advise against this. Coil spring spacers completely throw off your suspension geometry and stacking lifts is a no no.
These trucks lean from the factory, its due to the cross caster that is welded into the radius arms. I have brand new trucks on my lot that lean. This can be corrected with a minor caster adjustment on the side that is low. This would also fix the coil bowing issue which is solely due to the axle being shifted due to the lift.
Your truck needs a proper alignment before I would even consider adding or replacing parts.

Thank you for the information. I was leaning against this because I've used wheel spacers before on a different truck asn7k

And they caused nothing but issues so I have a bad mindset towards spacers in general.
On the note of springs, would I be able to replace my 4" lift springs with larger lift ones, or would the rest of the lift kit not be designed for that?

You would need to accommodate the rest of the suspension for the increase in height. It's really advisable to lift these trucks from the radius arms not the springs. There's a reason why Carli uses radius arm drops vs just increasing height with the springs.

Yeah, there is a radius arm lift on there. I believe it's a 4" lift but never been specified anywhere. Maybe those springs also point to a 4" lift

I just looked at Pro-comp website and looked at the downloadable PDF and yes those are the correct part numbers for front coils.
You mentioned earlier that you have a adjustable trac-bar?
The pro comp kit is made to use the factory non adjustable trac-bar using a drop bracket with this lift.
So is the truck trying to use an adjustable trac-bar upfront with a drop bracket?
Shouldn't be that way.
New cam bolts are suppose to be used when the lift was put on.
Like i was saying on some good info on suspension looking at Thuren's website and as Ram IT above.
Go to a shop that can do a good alignment and is familiar with lifts, trucks etc.
it wouldn't surprise me that they never did a proper alignment after the lift was put on.
