Lifted F150 issues

How's it going everybody? I recently installed a 5" RCX lift on my truck and everything seems to have turned out fine besides the rear drivers side. The driver back end is sagging about 2.5 inches than the rest of the truck. Im assuming the leaf springs may be a little tired not sure, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Have you measured it from the fender to the ground? What are the measurements? Do the leafs look more bent on the drivers side than on the passenger side?

yes, from the center of the hubs up to the fenders the measurements read +/- 28.5" all the way around give or take besides the drivers rear which is around 26ish. With the lift installed the leafs in the rear seem to look flat like "____" and not so much "\___/" on both sides.

hmmm only thing I can think of is take a picture of it with the wheel off. Maybe the leafspring is worn out? Somebody else will have to chime in.

is the leaf spring still arched or is it flat in the center by the pin or do you have any broken leafs in it?

good pictures with the wheel off will help us help you.
