Driver's side is 2" lower!!??

'01 F350 8' bed w/crew. Big truck. I've always noticed that the driver's side sags a little more than the passenger side.
I especially notice it with the 1200 pound truck camper in it. 2" lower than the passenger side.
What can this be caused by? What do I look for / or fix?

Measure from the underside of the frame vertically down to the axle tube, left and right, front and rear. If any one of the measurements (left to right) is less than the other you probably have a weak spring or bad spring bushes. If the measurements (left to right) are the same check for bad body mounts.

Switch the springs between the 2 sides.
