rear end squat/height

so ive had my 01 Supercrew for about 10 yrs now, i dont carry any heavy loads and maybe have towed once with it within the years, but ive noticed that the rear seems to be squatting and it makes the truck look almost lower in the rear sometimes. No broken leaves, spring perches are ok. Can anyone out there take a measurement on a flat surface....maybe say...from fender flare to ground?
Thanks
Rich

Pretty much a mute point, many configurations, load capacities etc.
Probably springs Are getting soft/flat. If you want your truck back to level or? Go to a spring shop and tell them what you want, maybe just get them re arched would do the trick.

Mine wasn't sagging but I replaced the rear shocks with monroe load adjuster shocks. Raised the rear about 1.5".
