Miami, I actually did that first, just swapped them. The driver's side was so worn out, the truck bed literally bounced all over the place over bumps of any size. You could tell it was just flexing all over, especially on the passenger side where there was no weight on it compared to the driver's.
However, that doesn't mean others on here couldn't do it and possibly have better success.

Being a cheap college student usually has you doing that first, but good call. Sometimes I don't see the cheap and easy way.
This might help some people out... leveled the photo so the photo isn't at an angle.
As you can see by referencing the tailgate with the top of the cab, the cab isn't leaning as badly, mostly the box. AKA, leaf spring.

Thanks Everyone,
First, I did not see that discussion nor did I use the search feature
, Im not as active on here I used to be since its summer and im busy most hours of day and when im home the bed looks to good to pass up.Im Glad im not the only one and now I have some things to checkout to fix the problem. Luckly we have a place here in STL that does both springs and the rear leafs, when I called them last year I think it was 250ish for new rear leafs and 100 for both front springs, and If I get the front springs I can remove the spacers since the lift will be added. Gonna give them a call and see whats up.
Also thanks Jason for lvl'ing out the picture.

Just an Update: I did a White Trash temporary fix. Gonna get new rear leafs made but to have them done to included my current lift its gonna cost 215 per side so for a temp solution I bought 280lbs of sand tubes (4x70lbs) Got half a tank of gas and with 3 bags shes actually sitting just a hair lower on the pass side in rear, Front is still off by 1/2inch, gonna be swapping my coil springs next week to address the issue.
Total cost to White Trash rig it untill I get funds to have the new rear leafs made- $21.37
