Driver Bed Side Sagging???

[Ozie P]

In my 84 K10 SWB, it’s has about an 1.5” lower height to the driver side of the bed. It has a 6” Skyjacker Suspension lift on it but the shocks have definitely had their share of life. I made the assumption of it being spring sag in on the driver side so I swapped the rear springs out for some stock ones. However, nothing changed. Any ideas? I took several measurements from the frame to the ground and the entire length of the frame the driver side is lower. I need help ASAP.

Looks like maybe the frame is twisted. It’s a good looking truck though.

If you pick up on the corner of the bumper ever so slightly it levels out and looks fine. Still twisted frame?

Did you inspect the spring mounts? Are they straight? Measure the spread between each of the spring mounts see if they're the same? Looks like my friends 450 lb sister is sitting in the driver's seat....

Springs mount are straight. New springs went in easy. I’ll take a quick measure and see the distance. I’m only 5’11 185 so people are gonna think I’m huge until I get out...

Driver side (sagging side) is about 3/4 inch longer on spread from bolt to bolt. Could this be in the shackle?

The ones that hold the frame rails together. And go over the frame with a fine tooth comb so to speak.

I’ve gone over them a hundred times looking for cracks. Only thing I’ve found is where the rear shock mount broke and someone welded back ever so slightly. Could the difference in spring spread be a cause?

I know this may sound dumb and a lot of work but swap springs side to side and see if your lean goes the other way.
