Sagging leaf

Is there a way to stop a front leaf from sagging without replacing it? The front of my truck, drivers side, is two inches lower than the passenger side.

I would suspect that there's something bent or broken if you've got that problem. I'd inspect both sides, and comparing the two, decide what's gone wrong, and take it from there.

Quadzilla, I inspected both sides, comparing one side to the other. Its definetly the leaf. The one on the drivers sad is sagging lower than the other and there is a 3/4 to a 1inch space between the two leafs. Time for replacement or is there a way to correct this?

The space between the leaves concerns me. I'd have the truck looked at to determine the cause of that. I'm not qualified to make a diagnosis from here, but I'd venture a guess that once that is resolved, your problem will be lessened considerably. Personally, I've never heard of a gap between the leaves, so I'm at a loss.
