Truck Sags on Left 1". Spring Sag????
Forgive me guys. I'm new to trucks.
My truck (K10, stock susp) leans 1" to the left. I can't see any obvious sagging in the springs. The body mounts look normal and measure the same. Are sagging springs the usual suspect when a truck leans to one side? |

I hear this is typical. I don't see it in mine, but I have a 2wd coil spring truck with new springs in the rear.
I am sure someone will have the answer.

There's a saddle tank on the driver side. I'm thinking 45 years of driver and saddle tank on one side must have sagged the driver side front and back. |

Taking it to Deaver Springs next Wed. I'm going to replace all four anyway. After all, they're 45 years old. Deaver can arch the driver side springs if it still sits wanky. |
