Good idea about measuring from the ground, Kent. It confirms that the truck is lower by 2" at the front & rear bumpers on the far left (driver's) side. Interestingly, I can eliminate the drop by lifting the cab at those spots. It stays there until I climb in again. This problem is definitely new. I've had the truck for 5 years & my wife & I independently noticed it at the same time.

I just read in the shop manual "...if spring assemblies have taken a set-that is-lost their resistance or elastic properties, they should be replaced with complete new assemblies". Do you think that's the problem? Nothing looks broken upon inspection. Thanks for your help.
