Yes we've accomplished this. Bobby and I ask simple questions and they always have to get HI-Jacked, WTF?

Maybe you could try jacking up the side of the truck that is low to where the side that was leaning is off of the wheels, then leave it over night or for a few days, just a thought /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Not a bad Idea.

What is the distance from the springs to the bump stops on either side?
Maybe the passenger spring has lost it's arch due to poor workmanship when they were made. Or poor/cheap materials.
Adding another shock will only make Your vehicle ride stiffer. If one choses to run dual shockes then they should use shocks that are valved for a dual set up. The only reason to use dual shocks is to prevent shock fade. Two shocks with equal valving of one shock has twice the area to dissipate heat than does one shock by it's self. Which is not really needed on anything other than something blasting though the desert at high speed for long periods of time.
 
I back up what Corey said about the strength of the steel. Wimpy does the same thing and a spring shop that I trust implicately told me that probably the strength of the material in the saggy side pack prolly isn't up to snuff. Oh also, have you hit a pot hole or somethin solid on the right side lately?

Just a couple of thoughts. Feel free to call me an idiot. Lots of folks do. /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
 
Try this..
Take a level item,Like a steel square tube or long enough level with a straight edge and lay it in between the front hanger and the rear shackle , then check the distance from somewhere like the bar edge to the center of the spring plate, then do it on the other side that will give you a good idea how much it is off,and if it is the springs..

The missing bumper bolt on the driver side lets it sit higher?

My pile-o-crap K20 sags a different direction every time it gets flexed hard, I think the frame just "sticks" until forced to "stick" a different way. Have you done any hardcore 2wd wheelin'?
 
My Sub sat like that when I got it and I really thought it was the front causing it but it ended up being a bad rear spring. /forums/images/graemlins/burb.gif
