Well I walked down to my truck today only to find the passenger side rear sittin about 2 inches lower then the rest of the truck. At first it looked like i had a flat tire it was so low. I cant tell if my leaf spring is the problem or if its in the shocks. I have new skyjacker hydro shocks coming either tue or wed which i was planning on replacing anyways, but I cant seem to figure out which my problem is. I measured the shock from the bottom eye to the bottom of the upper cylinder. Its about the same on both sides. I measured gap beween the bottom of my bed and the top of the leaf.. looks like about an inch difference. The driver side has more of an arch to it. Each time i hit a bump it feels like my shocks are bottoming out tho, theres a big thud. Sounds like a bump stop hittin. If anyone can understand what i just typed and has any advice let me know plz I think im going to tape something to the bump stop like an aluminum can and drive it down the road so i can tell if its the bump stops every time i hit a bump. No signs of a crack in the leaf...
 
Hava You check your front hight?

If the reight side is lower thank left, one problem might be your front springs are changed (left in right and right in left) difference will be approx 1 inch
 
Check your rear shackles to see if one broke. My passenger one rusted through and broke. Sounds just like what your describing
