check your shock on that side, might be dead. Also check your leaf springs for axle wrap. Also check your tire pressure. Eliminate these to help decipher the problem.

My truck was leaning abit ('01 F-150 7700 4x4) on the drivers side. When I cranked up the torsion bars I had to turn this one up more than the passenger side, but now it sits nice and level. I've read in quite a few posts that guys have 1 torsion bar bolt tightened up more than the other, but this definetly the way to fix it if you have work out suspension components.

You got more problems than a little leaning if you have a 98 supercrew. They didn't make those until 2001.
