2003 Navi Suspension

My 2003 Navi with load leveling suspension pumps up & drives fine, but when the truck is turned off & it settles, the left side sits lower than the right,
Is there an adjustment or something that I should take a look at to adjust this?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It seems to me that you have a hole in one or both airbags on that left side. Mine does sometimes seem to sit at a weird angle once in a while, but when it does it seems to be sitting in a spot where it isnt level or has a high spot in one area, if that makes sense.

Id say if it isnt squatting all the way down on that side everytime you turn it off, then dont worry about it untill it does.

You can check to also see if you are looking at it correctly by shutting it off, then waiting for the truck to lower, then measure from the ground to the wheel well. Then later on check it again, then check it in the morning. Then do this over a period of time of a few days and see if the measurements are the same around the truck and close to average them days. If the measurements are close ot the same dont worry about it it maybe the contour of the spot it is parked in.

I do this once in a while to see if I have any changes to the suspension, as I pull a trailer with mine and I want to address any issue with the suspension as fast as possible.

You might have either a bad solenoid or bad o-ring(s) on the solenoid where it seats in the top of the air spring.
