Default Level "settling" question

Ok i may be imagining it, or just getting used to the level but it seems to have "settled" in the front. Is this normal? Is there something that could have gone out/needs to be checked or replaced? I have a 3" on the front and 1.5" on the rear...but it seems like the front which was once level is now nose diving again....any thoughts or input would be great!

Probably time for some new struts... Look for oil leaking out of the seals. Or, maybe the coils are weakening. It is possible but I don't know the year of your truck, mileage, abuse, etc..

I just replaced the struts on my truck with Monroe Quick Struts from Rock Auto. I'm happy with them. I had a 2" level on my truck and now went to a hell bent steel 2.5". Its a machined billet aluminum leveling kit. Much nicer than the original 2" rubber lift that was on mine before.

Ill go check my struts...ill look into the Monroes...I have a 2wd 2007 f150 with 102,000 on it. Prior to me in was a work truck, but since ive had it just hauling a few loads for the retaining wall project (bout 4k lbs at a time). The leveling kit i have is by Heavy Metal which is a steel kit, read to many bad things bout the rubbers lol
