Default Air ride suspension leans

I didn't notice it when I bought it a few weeks ago but I suspect that it was in fact like that already. The right side sits lower, by atleast an inch and a half or so, than the left side. I've heard the compressor come on, I've heard pressure venting (though I'm not sure where from), and driving it - everything feels fine besides the slight drift to the right. I'm not sure which side is actuall a problem. The left side looks like it's up TOO high. The right side is just a hair taller than a lowrider. When I do a bounce test, the left side feels solid and the right side will give but only a little. Besides a dealership, is there any way for me to pull codes out of the system? Does it even store codes? Are there any problem spots, valves, lines etc... I should check first? The front looks pretty even to the rear on both sides but does anyone know what the height should be (approximately) at each corner and where are you taking your measurement? I don't have nor am I purchasing the special tool for measuring ride height. I don't think anything bad has happened to my sensors but I plan on lifting this thing this evening and taking a look at them but I don't expect to see anything unusual. I really hope someone can help. I would like to lower this thing eventually but first things first...
