Did I break something????

I drove my truck for the first time over 10mph down a dirt road and got home, parked it..later on (hours later) I went back out... just to look at it haha, and noticed the driverside front of the truck is lower and kinda leaning. I checked the mounts they look good, spring is still in there, shock looks the same, the tire looks a little low but not flat, I can lift up on the fender and pick it up some... not sure if enough to level it because I cant lift and see the front at the same time... I also thought maybe its where i parked it on the lawn ( I ran out of gas though, figures) so i cant move it for now.

What all can break that could cause one side of the front to lean and be low?

Is the spring broke? It might be in the truck still but a coil could have snapped.

My truck has always had a drivers side lean to it, even after I lowered it with new springs and shocks. Bugs the heck outta me! Anyway, might also be a broken body mount causing the lean?

Motor mount? I broke one in my old Mercedes a while ago and it caused the car to lean about 2 inches to the drivers side.
