Quite correct. However on a solid axle truck you have a lever of about 2 feet (bumpstop fulcrum to tire on same side) with about 2000-2500 pounds of weight on it, acting to extend a shock on the other side of the axle. Unless the user specifically modifies the system, the springs are not retained and so it is very easy to get that side to droop. In an independently sprung truck you have no such lever and droop is controlled only by wieght on that corner.
