Truck tilting?

Unloaded the camper (about 95% of the time the camper is on the truck) and noticed the truck is tilted toward the driver side. Decided to measure and found from top of tire to fender it was 3/4 of an inch lower in front on the driver side and 3/8 of an inch in back.

Is this a concern? If so what might cause it and what would one do?

Go to a scale and do a run over with each tire on the scale. If the scale readings do not show a difference that would make sense, then look carefully at your spring pack to see if one might be broken or out of place in the pack.

Check the suspension in every way if the weights seem to be equal.

Drive from the right side for a couple of months? Do the shims. I noticed one-half inch.

One side of your gasoline engine is gaining weight over time. :D

Seriously though, based on past reading at Fords-Trucks.com, many Fords do it and you can shim it if it bothers you. A quick google says other brands do as well.
