Default help. truck leaning to one corner.

My 07 ram 1500 4X4 leans to the front driver's side and I can't figure out why.
My Tires are all brand new, the shocks are good, I don't know if it could be the frame but it was never reported being in a accident. The driver's side sway bar end link looks pretty much destroyed, could that be an issue causing the lean?? Any other ideas?? please help

sounds like a weak strut or weak coil.

also keep in mind that the gas tank is slightly over towards the Driver's side so if the tank is full it may just be the extra weight.

But most common is a weak strut (might not be 100% bad YET) or the coil is worn out..

When in doubt, swap things from the left side to the right side and see what you get

all good thoughts, but I think i'm gonna hold off on replacing the suspension parts because i'm gonna buy a 4" lift kit soon.
it's not the gas tank because it leans regardless of whether its full or empty. I'll definitely look at the coil and struts. thanks!
