I maybe wrong but a leaf spring replacment maybe needed. The pro's will be here shortly to give you the best awnser. And yes its a common thin in all Ford trucks. My 94' Ranger does the same thing...And its the driver side.

My truck sat lower on the driver's side also. I didn't really notice it as much until I added the leveling leaves on the front. This is a TSB concerning this and I ordered the appropriate shim kit and installed it under the left rear spring. Truck now sits level.

My old '95 ranger did this, as well as my '85 toyota, and now my new '03 PSD. Drives me nutts!
But this is a very common problem, that I have yet to fix but will eventualy, with either shims or a nice new lift kit.
But even then I've heard of guys gettin new lift springs and it still does the same damn thing.

You can always swap the springs on that end of the truck, if the springs don't appear to be physically broken or falling apart. This works on countless leaf-spring vehicles. If the lean moves with the swap, then you have a spring problem. If it sits level, then you're done.
