My truck was leaning to the drivers side. I pulled the leaf springs off and compared them. They the same based on dimensions. Now I am wondering of it could be the worn bushings in the shackles binding?? Can leaf springs be worn or saggy and but look identical and near factory dimensions??

Re: Leaf Springs- how to tell if they are bad
My truck suffers from the same thing. It is noticeably lower on the driver's side. The other day I found the flattest parking lot I could find near my house and measured the height at the center of the wheel openings. Driver side front is 1/2" lower than the right side and rear is 3/4" lower than the right side. I'm curious also to hear what could be causing this.
