Help me here..

What's wrong with the ole yota? Is it something wrong with my leaf spring? That right back tire drops way lower then the left when jacked up.

Are you in the rust belt? The shackle might be rusted to the point it won't let the suspension drop all the way but it will still compress when you load the truck.

Take some pics from both sides and closer from the rear to show more detail.
Same shocks on both sides?

well I always thought it had the same set of shocks on the back cause it has the same on the front two tires and the back left. But now that I look it it the back right doesnt look the same. I no longer have it jacked up but hereit is sitting.

One shock is letting it droop more than the other it would seem. Maybe time for a matching set of rear shocks?

ok good deal. I was thinking about replacing all the shocks anyway actually just because they are really old and the bushings are missing on one of them. I appreciate the help! how much will that run me?

Can you do the work yourself? Shocks are not all that spendy. The rears should be relatively easy unless you encounter badly rusted hardware. Up front is tougher if they are coil over....removing the coil safely is a challenge for some.

As far as total price, I don't know. Calling around to a few local places and get quotes is best.
