1" difference is little off, perhaps driver side springs were fitted to passenger side.
I believe driver side are slightly taller.

Hi,
If you have left hand drive vehicles over there then I would expect the drivers side to be a little higher than the passenger side when empty. This is done to accommodate extra weight of the driver.

No need to use both together....
Use Drop Boxes over Caster Correction Bushes, as you can then keep the Standard Nissan rubber Bushes - much better
