You can also have a local spring shop take some arch out of the right spring or add some to the left.
I prefer the preloaded torsion bar on a drag car because plants the right tire harder.

You can run either two left side springs or two right side springs. That's what I did. Works great, car sits even and looks level.

Most SS springs are 120lbs/inch. Not that stiff. The 002/003 springs are 160lbs/inch. Still not real stiff. Some of the stock springs are over 200lbs/inch.
You do understand that if you use 2 the same that they will not work the way they were designed. The car may launch crooked. They are biased for a reason.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

At my shop we have done hundreds of those. The right rear does have more bias built in it. It is that way to control the twist from the torque . By using the torsion bars to level it is what you want to do so you can put into it the planed amount of bias the spring was designed for. There is not an issue in the handling of the car if aligned right afterwords.
