Default Durango is leaning

My 2000 Durango (4.7L, 4x4) is leaning noticeably to the left when looking at the back of the vehicles. I was wondering what would be the first course of action to fix/check? Shocks/struts? Springs? Thank you in advance.

shocks aren't structural so that leaves springs or spring mounts, but take a picture for us they car wont sit level in reality, also anything you have inside it will affect how it leans

I don't have anything inside that would cause the lean. Here is a picture.

You might have broken a spring leaf.

Either that or a torsion key bolt snapped/came loose.

yea i second both of the above possibilities, as well as checking the spring mounts.
