Spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Don't have pics here with me, but I saw a thread that had some springs for sale, and got to wondering. I've been assuming that sagging body mounts are to blame for the lean to the passenger side on my truck. The easiest way to see that it isn't square is to look from behind. You can tell that the pass. side of the tailgate is a little lower relative to the cab lines. But then I thought about the time I had a load of mulch on it, and the pass. side axle was against the bump-stop, but driver's side was fine.

So, finally, the question: Is it possible that the coil springs on the rear of the truck are the problem? How do I find out for sure? I guess I could just measure the overall length of each spring, huh?
