Adjusting the torsion bars can help level the truck side to side. Keep in mind that with a full tank of fuel and a healthy driver in the seat it may actually level out.

Don't forget if you do decide to level out your truck by adjusting the torsion bars you will need to have an alignment done afterwards because the caster/camber will be off. :wink:
