im actually kind of intrigued by this as well. mine sits about an inch or so low on drivers rear. the idea of the gas tank being on that side and never having a passenger is a very likely possibility that it could have worn down that leaf more than the other. seems like swapping springs would only make the slant on the other side, and take another 7 yrs to even out lol

If you have a 2002 Dodge 1500, you have torsion bars.

So let me get this straight the 02 models are the new body but old frames?? Because I've got a 05 2WD and it has coil springs up front and I've got a sag on the RT front too. Didn't think about the rear leaf spring. I've got air bags out back though.

But I'm thinking it was because the RT front got crushed in an accident back in Aug 05, but the whole right side front was pretty much replaced

Is it the 02-05 4WD's that have torsion bars? I believe all 2006-09 have torsion bars, right??

I want to get a front level kit does this mean a 2" on the Right side and a 1.5 on the Left??

Any other possiblities why this is happenning to our trucks, mines mostly a driver only inside

H-

My '02 had torsion bars, it was a 4x4, is there a diff between the 4x4 and 4x2's? I didn't think there was.

Yes there is.

2002 2wd has coil springs and the 2002 4x4 has torsion bars.

I have a 2002 2wd and there a no torsion bars to be seen
