Rear driver spring misaligned

[BigSachsy1]

I've been having trouble filling up at the gas station for a couple of months now. So I searched the forums for causes and advice and ended up getting a couple of new evap items. I have a Foxwell NT624 scanner that gave me a couple of codes. So was planning on tackling that today. Anyways, I took the spare tire off and I noticed my rear driver spring isn't centered up like it should be. The 4th picture is the passenger rear spring and it's centered up fine. I'm wondering what my options are with the other. Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Chock your front wheels securely. Disconnect the bottom of your rear shocks, disconnect the brake line holder attachment on your rear end tube housing, disconnect the end links on your rear sway bar. Slowly jack up the back of the truck, taking the weight load off the springs. At some point during the lifting, the spring should be unloaded, and you can slide the top of the spring back into its proper location.

Thank you so much. I'm already worried enough about the can of worms I may find doing my evap and then I saw that spring. Gonna attempt this and see what happens. Much appreciated. Will update afterward.

I wasn't able to get this done for a number of reasons. I opted to take it to a mechanic instead. I appreciate you giving me the advice regardless. He said my shocks are too long and that's the probable cause of it coming out of alignment, so going to be tackling that here soon, which I've done before so I'll be able to do. Thank you again man.

It's probably because the springs are wore out and need replacement. Or you been jumping train tracks again! You could have probably kicked it back into place.
