Default DriverSide Rear Sag

I am noticing what appears to be an increasing problem of sag or at least what appears to be sag on the drivers side when walking up to my truck from behind. I only have 60 000 miles on my 03 Tundra, about 40 000 on wheeler AALs. The sag appears to be much more pronounced when I have a full tank of gas which makes sense I guess. But I estimate the difference of about 2" when comparing the axle line with the bumper line from left to right. Should I be concerned, is it possible I have a blown shock, or did I maybe get a bum AAL on the drivers side? I have always had a slight difference but it seems to be getting worse. It doesn't seem to effect the handling of the truck, but than again maybe I don't know any better.

I put a shim on my drivers side, 1/8" stainless steel. Had a local metal shop stamp one out for abouot 5 dollars.

Thanks
Why not! Sounds like an easy fix and I guess it is safe although given the difference I would be inclinded to put in a half inch shim if it will fit (u bolt length an issue) to help make up the difference.
