For some reason the left side of my truck sits up a full inch and a quarter higher than the right side, does anyone have any idea why this is? Also, the back end sits lower than the front, but I am ordering a set of shackles from Calmini to fix that problem.

It's possible that your left torsion bar is wearing out. It's also possible that your front left shock is be shot. As far as I understand, the torsion bars are springs primarily responsible for the height of your front end. If the bar is wearing out, it won't have as much spring in it to return your truck back to a neutral position.

You may want to try tightening it. It's a fairly simple thing to do. You just need two 19mm wrenches. If you decide to do this, here's a guide:

Tosion Bar Adjustment

Be careful, of course. You may need to bring your X in for an alignment after adjusting making the adjustment.

Will adjusting the torsion bars affect the rear of the truck as well? I was under the impression that it only affected the front.

Ths shock won't affect the height. It would affect the quality of the ride, but not the height.

Yes, the t-bars only affect the front ride height.

Off the top of my head, in addition to the possibilty of the t-bar weakening (although if the left side is higher, it would be the right side t-bar that is weakening) these could be possibilties:

Are you measuring with the vehicle parked on flat ground?

When you cranked the t-bars before, was something heavy (or someone) in the X on the drivers side?

The T-bar adjuster bolt could be slipping. I'd check to make sure both the locking and adjuster nuts are still on the adjuster bolt. If the locking nut somehow loosened, the adjuster bolt could lossen causing the right side to appear to sag.

How much did you crank the t-bars? I'm wondering if there is a possibility that you cranked the t-bars until the UCAs were contacting the bumptops, and are missing a bumpstop on the left side - if that is the case, then that might also account for a ride height difference.

Do you wheel your X? Check the torsion bar for scrapes and any visible surface rust. If there is surface rust on the T-bar, then there is a possibilty of rust entrusion into the T-bar causign failure - the sagging could be an indicator of that.

Any one of these, or any combination of them, could be a reason for the height difference.

Well actually, I have not ever cranked the t bars, I believe the previous owner did it and was to cheap to spring for the longer shackles, which explains why my X does not have the "raked" stance. I will be sure to check out all of those when I get a chance (hopefully tomorrow) and let you know what I find. Thanks for your help!

Good call, Rockaholic. I read that backwards.

The front height difference annoyed me for about 3 years before I stumbled across the t-bar adjustment fix. My guess is that's your problem. Cranked my t-bars and evened it up and it's been ok ever since.
