any ideas?

I just picked my truck up from Ford. They replaced the transmission and that's it. When I got there to pick it up, all the techs had already left. The problem is, the front end is sitting about 3 inches too low in the front. I had it perfectly leveled out with the torsion bars. it's a 4x4 supercrew, stock suspension, stock size tires, etc..etc. The front end is seriously as low or lower than a stock 2wd front end. The back is unchanged.

Is there any reason they would have had to remove/mess with the torsion bars to replace the transmission?

Ok, update:

I went to Ford this morning and it took them all of 15 minutes to fix it. The tech took one look at it and realized that his helper had swapped the driver's side and passenger side torsion bars. He swapped them back and the truck is back to normal.

So...all fixed!

I hope they aligned it for you also. If they messed with the torsions, your alignment will be jacked.
