Dan, congrats on the 03 I have a 02 quad cab 4x4 4.7 auto, I love it. The
problem with your truck is that the suspension has setteled, Normal this is,
some more than others, you can take it to the dealer and have them turn the
Torsion bar up so the drivers side sits at the same heighth as the passenger
side, or you can do this yourself, if you can find the torsion bar adjust
nut, located under truck just follow the bar from the lwr control arm to the
mount assembly on cross bar. you will see this long bolt hidden inside, take
a 1/2" drive ratchet or 1/2" breaker bar, works best and turn bolt
clockwise, mark bolt on one area so you can count 1 revolution at a time,
may take 4-7 revs, check your measurement heighth after 4 turns. I measure
from level ground to bottom of fender. Hope this helps. I also turned my
torsion bars up so that the front is 1 inch lwr than the rear in
measurement, I like the look much better.
