My 04 QC 4x4 did the same thing. I leveled it by cranking the torsion bars.

To ensure that is what it is measure from the ground to the fender lip above each front tire. This will tell you if which one is lower or higher. The torsion bar adjustment bolts are located in a bracketat the rear end of the torsion bars. Search for adjusting torsion bars and you'll see some pics.

Go the bar on the low side, measured from ground to the fenderwell and turn the silver bolt clockwise 4 turns, then re-measure, etc.

Write down the amount of turns, you may need that.

I raised one side higher than the other. Don't remember the amount of turns and the notes are long gone.

Remember to adjust with the truck off-the ground to make it easier and the last adjustment should be an "up" or "clock-wise" turn not the opposite. I lifted my front end to remove the CAFE rake and it took 5 turns on the #2 side and 3 1/2 on the #1 side to lift it about 2".
