Truck Leans

My 99 Int 4900 is leaning to the left and is starting to get worse. It increased by 3/4 of an inch this past year which makes a lot of lean to the top of the sleeper, another 1/2 inch and the sleeper will be leaning past the box. Does anyone know how or who can fix this at a reasonable rate and or time. I have seen many straight trucks with this afflication, but its getting to the point I have to fix it soon. Thanks for any help.

It may be hard to tell until someone actually looks at it.
It could be a broken or worn sleeper shock, bad air bag if air ride, broken frame mount for sleeper, or a twisted truck frame.

If it is a larger sleeper, it may have a torsion/sway bar that has worn bushings.

One of those, you have to go underneath and really check it out.
Most are not high dollar repairs except the twisted frame.
