Most likely a collapsed spring, but first you have to determine which 
spring is bad.  Put proper air pressure in tires first.

Place a floor jack centered under rear axle, and lift rear tires off 
the floor.  If it then sits level the front springs are okay, suspect 
bad rear spring.

Place a floor jack centered under front frame cross member, and lift 
front tires off the floor.  If it then sits level the rear springs 
are okay, suspect bad front spring.

Always replace springs in matched pairs.
