Which side? On 4dr S10 Blazer's the gas tank is on the left side, 18gal of fuel can weigh a lot and if your springs are worn out, the truck could lean to one side

It's called the Chevy lean. LOL. Springs can wear a different rates depending on how the vehicle is used, loaded and sag different amounts over time. I doubt it's anything that needs repairing. Shocks don't actually support weight that's why changing them won't affect lean.

Belltech makes a coil spring spacer to help with the front end. The rear usually follows suit.
