Me again.  Once again I kinda know this.  It was a Mopar torgue thing.  That's a great sign to know the car is a real R/T.  Mopar did put one more spring on that side to deal with engine torque.

The springs are biased (5½ leafs left, 6 leafs right) to prevent axle wind up because of the higher torque 440 or 426 Hemi available on the R/T model.

Yea right, what he said.

The same reason that trunk mounted batteries should go on the passenger side and the same reason why an open differential will usually spin the passenger tire. 
It's a good thing and another example of high performance engineering from the folks who made driving fast and looking cool better.
