Default 02 Silverado rear end leaning

I have an 02 Silverado 2wd with 3 inch fabtech spindles up front and 1 inch blocks in the rear. For the past few months now, everytime I load a trailer or put any significant weight on the rear end, the left side drops about 2 inches lower than the right. Does anyone know what would cause this?

You sure the block in the back left spring hasn't come out? I have been told they do that going over speed bumps and crap like that.

every once in a while, if you dont watch the extended u-bolts they give you for blocks, the nuts eventually with just vibrate off the end of it and your block could slip right out... you probably would've noticed that though...

I had the front end lifted for a while before I ever put the rear blocks in, and it was leaning like this for a while before I put the blocks in. I was hoping to get a little added support from the blocks and I also put new shocks on the rear but it didn't help. I'm thinking the leafs might just be sagging but i'm not sure.

off topic, but does the 3/1" make the truck sit level? i was thinking of getting 3/2 but i think its tilted more than that...
