Have you ruled out a sagging leaf spring, this happens to lots of folks?
How did you come to the conclusion it's the frame? Post pictures.

I hope its the spring, I measured the axle to the ground on both sides and its the same , I then measured the back bumper corners to the ground and I am off by an inch any thoughts
I had the same issue on my 109. Right rear was low.
Had the springs re-arched and put teflon sheets between each leaf.
Leveled the truck.
thank you , I will look into that or replace that side
This is related to that other post you just created regarding something odd about your spring mounts or something--I don't remember. If you post a picture or two of what you're talking about there, you'll get plenty of responses and the remedy to both these related issues will become obvious, I suspect...

thanks mark , after a bunch of reading it seems to be quite common the sagging due to springs getting soft , I think the spring is my problem , in the future I will try post some pics thank you , gareth dallas texas
