Check the framework for the lower seat. Also check the mounts that bolt the seat to the floor. I had to weld one of the supports back on. If that doesnt work, look at the seat springs..they may have broken. If so...get another seat from a junk yard and swap the upholstery.
Good Luck!

Guys, guys, guys, take the seat out of the truck, turn it upside down and check for springs pulled through the edge of the frame at either side. Pull the glides and slides form the bottom of the seat before you go any further. Greystreak's driver seat had this happen (my fat ***) and I just had to drill a new hole for the spring to hook into.
Oh, wait...small note on drilling the new hole. You will need a longer than standard bit because you will have to drill through the bottom frame AND the spring frame because you can't get a drill between the two even with the seat out of the truck. Won't hurt anything to have the extra hole(s) in the bottom frame. I may be able to get a picture of what I did if I can get the seat frame out of GS. They actually survived the blaze.

FYI: FORD has a TSB for the driver side seat leaning to the left due to the base being weak and dropping. Take it to Ford or call them with your vin# and see if that is the case. It was with mine. They will honor the recall as long as you can drive the vehicle, per our local Ford shop.
