Bent frame??
I bought a 94 extra cab this last summer that had been in a front end collision by the previous owner. The truck sat low at the back left corner.... quite a bit! the left bed rail is about 1.5" lower than the right side. I looked at the leaf springs, and figured that it must be a bad spring on the left side, as it looked to flatten out, right in front of the axle perch....
I swapped leaf springs today, and low and behold.... it sits exactly the same as before!!
Question is, what should I check next? As I said, it was in a front end accident at one time. Could the torsion bars up front be out of lever from right to left, causing it to translate to a bigger difference in the rear?!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

how do the body mounts on the bed look? Before I tore mine off it didn't sit level, 2 of the one sides bed mounts were pretty much letting the bed sit on the frame.

I'll check that out, but the top of the axle bump stop, on the left side, is closer to the frame than on the right. You can literally see that the frame is sitting lower over the left, than on the right side.
