Truck body sag on passenger side, '92, F-150

Hey FTE members, on my '92, F-150, the passenger side is dropped around an 1". I've looked to the best of my ability but can't seem to understand where or why. The body support bushings look ok and not rotted out, but does anyone have any pics of where the frame and cab are positioned, so I can get the truck level again?

It's just really irking me.

Thanks again!!

Its both, I believe.

I did some more looking thus morning and when I lift the cab, right in the door area, I can see the front rubber body mount pull away. There is some gap between it and the mount point. Looks like I will need a new rubber mount.

The rear mount looks OK, but I used fender washers to level the bed to the cab. I know it needs done too.

Right now I have the front mount soaking with Kroil, so hopefully it won't be a pain to fully remove when it comes time. There isn't much rust, so that helps.

You won't be able to measure it accurately without instrumentation, but your 23-yr old truck is also experiencing some front-to-rear frame static deflection common to all vehicles including your fully boxed F150's frame. Measured in inches ---most trucks (depending on employment/loading, usage) experience it.
