truck leans?

i have noticed that the whole left side of my truck leans. i wonder if its the coil springs and the leaf springs starting to sag. does anyone else have this problem? i will go out tomorrow and measure.

Do you have a body lift? Did you check the simple stuff, like tires?

Could be a sagging leaf spring. have you cranked the t bars on it and not gotten them level but I think that would be obvious..

How much is it leaning?
If it isnt much, I would not expect to get it leveled out, this is very common...

My truck squats on the passenger side also, lots of wear and tear on the leaf springs. Must be time for springs.

well i finally got around to measuring the truck. from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender.

front drivers side 23 1/4
front pass. side 23 1/4
rear drivers side 23 1/8
rear pass side 24

i cannot see why the pass. side rear is that much higher. i had the truck on level ground, uneven terrain wasn't a problem. i guess the other leaf spring and front coils are sagging. i dunno.
