Question 2 inch difference in clearance from driver to passanger side?

I noticed recently that there is a noticeable (~2 inches) difference between the height on the driver and passenger sides on my taco. Any ideas??? I can't seem to find anything broken. Shocks are two years old and the springs are originals.

If you could, measure from the top lip of the rim, to the center of the fender on each side, and post up the measurements for each side.

Just kidding.

Did you install any lift in the suspension, or is it stock? Is it just front side or rear too?

Suspension is stock. Difference in height is both front and rear.

did this all of a sudden hapen, or did you buy it like this? If you bought it like so, I'm going to guess that it's frame damage.

Wow, there is something seriously wrong there!!!

Check to see if a coil on the springs didn't break (I assumed these were the fronts).
Pics of both sides with the wheel turned to see the spindle would help too.

I have had the truck for 5 years and no recent mishaps so ....
I can't see anything broken in the front and since it is both front and back I am stumped.
