Measure from a point on the frame to a point on the axle on each side? Then get back to us on numbers. Not the fender well.

To be honest it sounds like your frame is slightly tweaked. This can happen if you carry heavy loads and really beat it on rough terrain. I can be wrong but that's my opinion.

Is it just rear that has the ride height issue...?

Sure the front ride height is not compromised...? It can affect the way the rear appears if so.

Sticky shocks...?

Kinda seems like the frame is bent/twisted VIA the crooked bed... but the picture is dark and its kinda hard to tell...

Perhaps some replacement springs are in order...?
