Red face And the problems continue...(torsion bars)

So after examining the truck again today, i realized something. My torsion bar bolts are both different heights! The right is considerably higher than the left. I mean, a centimeter difference in length. Is it possible the creaking could be torsion-bar related...and how long have the bars been like this, tire wear is excellent and smooth. Of course, you don't know how long they've been like that, but should i consider relowering my right torsion bar bolt to the lefts height? Opinions please guys, and thanks for all of yall's help with my F150, i'm lovin yall for it.

They come from the factory with different settings, maybe to compensate for different weights for each side.

If tire wear it's been ok for a long time chances are your alignment is good. Haven't heard creeaking from the torsions.
