Truck leaning in front

I have a 2001 PSD ext. cab. My question is can a bad shock make the front of the truck lower on one side than the other? I can't find anything broken so i am not sure what the problem is.

Measure the clearance of chassis to front axle housing on each side... It could just be weak springs on one side, usually the cause of such a "lean"... Riding hard on one side off the edge of the road a bit, or hit something... That is what it sounds like. See if one spring set is a bit flattened out.

Regards, Ranger...

no, a shock can not make a truck lean, i would look for a broken or weak spring as the lone ranger suggested above........Marc
