I had my 1st gen on the lift for a tire change and noticed that my axle is lower on the driver side than the passenger side.

Is this normal?

My specs on my rear lift. Dakar’s with 5100’s.

Does it sit level on the ground?

Makes sense to me that the left would hang lower like that, either more arch or more thickness to counteract the lean.

Hanging in the air means little. Does it sit level on the ground.

I believe Dakars are built to counter the drivers side lean in the rear from the weight of the gas tank, if it sits level when its on the ground I wouldn't worry about it.
