My first thought when I took my truck in to be worked on was that the rear end was bent, so while the rear end was being replaced the mechanic checked my it for true and it was OK. Both axles / bearing were also replaced in the overhaul.

I had the springs all re-sprung, but did not know about the extra spring idea at the time, but that makes good sense and I will look into this more.
Thx,
