Leaning lariat

My 1999 lariat (2wd) leans more on the driver side to the point where the seam between the door and the front fender seems to be getting wider at the bottom. I noticed cracks on the underside of the fender to the front and rear. Could weak front springs cause this?

I bought this truck used and the previous owner claims it was not in an accident?

Any help would be appreciated.

i dont see how the srping would ahve anything to do with the fendr. if you drove the truck so the front wheel dropped into a 2 inch deep hole, the truck would set "low" on that corner, but the fender would not know the difference. i would look closer at the "craks" that dont sound normal. something has put a high stress on the fendr, even if it was not in a crash.
