I noticed that my recently purchased 2003 Frontier sags in the rear on the
passenger side - about 2 inches lower than the right side. I just filled the
gas tank, but can't imagine that it would cause this. Any ideas?

Where are you? The passenger side is the right side in the US>
Weakened spring, poor shackle, bent frame??

Gas tank is on the right side on the 03 Boomer! Check for any broken springs. How is the front? Someone may have screwed w/ the torsion bars.

Thanks for your help. Front end seems to be ok. I will check with the dealer also.

Yeah. But he says"sags in the rear on the passenger side.. lower than the right side." So I assumed the passenger side was on the left of the truck.
Frontier Guy is right! Check the torsion bars and springs. Is there a bad body to frame mount under the bed?

Sometimes you need to be an English major to decipher some of these explanations!!!!!!! Thanks Boomer for clearing that up, sometimes after a long day I miss a few details.

You could also have a bad shock. The shock being the cheapest of all the items in question I would check there first.
