springs get worn out over time.

one option is to just swap the sides of the springs left to right. this means when you are sitting in the truck it will level it out a bit.

or just get new springs all together.

mine sags as well but only the leafs in the back because the springs up front are brand new.

ive kicked around swapping the sides but its more work than i care to do lol.

The guy I bought it from was pretty fat, so I always joke that its in order to conpensate for his weight.

buy a 1" rubber spacer for the front left coil! now it sit right! 1/4 inch in front and 0 even hight in back (before was 1-1/4 in front and 3/4 in rear) i'm happy!

Same issue here, but on the passenger side. Mine sits down around an inch lower on the passenger side with no air in the air shocks that I installed.

I unplugged the drivers side air shock and aired up only the passenger shock 2 nights ago and it leveled it out until I fix whatever is going on. I assumed it is a saggy leaf spring pack on that side.

For the time being it may help with weight distribution when feeding her the coal now that the back right corner stiffened up.... haha

Im glad your brought this up. My truck sags bad too! Passenger side is lower can see the difference in the overloads. Im wondering if someone put to much weight on one side and my spring is sprung.

Please determine if the frame is bent or sagging springs is the culprit.
Sorry if this is confusing.
Measure:
Put truck on LEVEL pad.
Measure all four corners thru the center of the wheels to the bottom of the wheel well.
Determine the low corner front and rear.
* if either front or rear(side to side) is level, you’re screwed. The frame will likely not allow you to level up the truck.
Now, if the low side is the same (right or left) front and rear, the end with the most difference can be ‘adjusted’ to level up.

If rear is 1/2”-1” off, spring can be blocked to level up. Weight will shift to the opposite side front and level up the truck.

If front is off more than the rear, double check a ring in the coil didn’t break off the bottom. Take the outside ends loose on the sway bar and remeasure. I’ve seen them bent from running into something and they are stout enough the transfer weight if bent. If bar is straight, the front coil can have a spacer put between the rings but a C1500’s front‘s wire size makes it hard to do. I’ve put a rubber spacer under a sagging coil but temporary fix is all you’re getting. New coils and start over is the only sure thing.

Here is what a spring should NOT look like.
