I should have asked before but does the truck sag any on one of the corners? or do any of the springs look like they have flattened out over the years? A lot of these trucks got worked real hard for a lot of years and the springs may need to be re-arched to get the truck to set right or at least to get it to set level side to side. I had a deputy sheriff ask me why my 48 sagged to the left side a few years ago and he didn't like my answer of "fat driver" even though I was the only one who had driven the truck since 1973 with few exceptions with 80 out of every 100K miles being by myself in the truck.
