My truck leans a good 1.5" to the drivers side. Front and back. Same size tires all the way around. Is it normal for both springs on one side to sag this much?

I personally was surprised by how just one busted spring can make the whole side sag. Mine had a broken coil in front when I got it. The break was up in the pocket and hard to see. I ended up replacing all four because I figured if one went the others would soon follow.

I was considering doing that, but I wasn't sure if that's actually what the problem was. That makes me feel a bit better then, I would not have thought that just one spring could do that, I mean it's almost the same lean front and back.

I've heard about this happening with trucks, usually on the drivers side.
An old guy once said it happens with work trucks because it's usually one person getting in and out and putting their tools in the back on the side closest to them, usually the drivers, therefore causing more wear on the springs on that side.

I don't know if there's actually any merit to it, but maybe?

Look at it this way... 50 something year old truck springs probably need to be replaced anyway whether they are the problem or not. At around 100 bucks a pair plus shipping they are a relative bargain for handling characteristics and peace of mind.
