Depends on how worn they are. When new they are about and inch think. They do wear down and eventually split in half. It is hard to tell unless you pull them out. Chances are they are due for replacement. You should have them of equal thickness side to side, so really you kinda should replace the other side too.

Put them in, still the same... Other thing I noticed is the bag on the front passenger axle (same side I'm having problems with) is a "continental" , all others are "Goodyear". I'm gonna change that next, and if negative results I don't think their is much more... maybe tractor/trailer is just worn out like that... idk. I've heard of people putting shims in between the bag/'s to level it...

I would love to see pictures of this!

I'm having the same issue, I put couple of large washers in between the bottom of bag and leaf. right side front rear drives sit 1 inch lower than left. bags are the same , no leaks, new shocks, new bushings, new king pins

Sprayed down everything with soap water, level valves, dump valves and bags. still having the same issue. washers didn't help, I thought the washers would give me at least 1/2 inch. I put 3 large washers between bottom of air bag and spring leaf where the bag bolts to the leaf..

Pictures?

Has anyone found the fix for this?

Pretty much every time you see this, something got installed wrong, or missed with the spring which is changing the space where the air bag mounts.
