Default Torsion Bar Tension question (say that 3x fast)

Hey guys, I hava an 05 QC 4x4 that I picked up used a lil ways back. Today I had a friend that was following me in his 03 Ram and he said that my truck is crooked. I noticed this walking to my truck in a parking lot a few weeks ago and dismissed it as uneven pavement. I tried parking it at a bunch of different locations today and sure enough its always lower on the pass side. In the past..I suspect the previous owner may have messed with the torsion bars. Its there a way to tell if the torsion is even on both sides? can I back off the torsion bar adjusters and start over? If so....whats the procedure on adjusting them as I would like to make the truck as level as possible.

Must be the guy had the truck before you was married to a 350 lb. beast!!!


Sure, you just need to measure, you can always crank one side up or down a smidge to level the truck out...

Unfortunately, you don't have a torsion bolt to just crank for a quick adjustment...
