Unhappy Truck lists to the left?????

OK, I have an 03 Screw and over the past week I've noticed that the truck lists to the driver's side. I measured the distance between the rim and the fender and the left side is 1 to 1 1/4" lower than the right. This is either with a full tank or empty. The only think I've done lately is I cranked up the torsion bars, the ride was rough so I cranked them back down a few turns. Any ideas?

Possibly you didn't crank your torsion bars up the same amount of turns, or down the same amount. Is it the same in the front and back of the truck?

No, it is much more on the rear than the front. The front is within 1/4" of being the same.

Yup. It's normal, due mostly to the gas tank being on the left side. Torsion bars won't help much in the rear.

When I put on a set of Roadmaster Active Suspension springs I was able to fine tune the left to right height and level the truck out perfect on the rear. Then adjusted the torsion bars to level the front. It didn't take much effort. Back end now sits 3/4" higher than the front empty.
