Message:
I have a 00 4x4 that leans to the right at rest. on my level garage floor, the fender lip on the right is 2 inches lower than the left. Nothing looks broken (springs, etc), truck runs fine. what could it be? Do I need a spring shop to sraighten me out? Or is there an adjustment I can make?

does 4x4x have torsion bars?
measure from floor to frame at same points each side for more accurate reading.

I have this problem too. if there are torsion bars, what do you do with them to fix the lean?

if you do have torion bars, you need to follow them back to the middle of the frame, you will see a large bolt that goes throught the frame and the piece on the end of the torsion bar, decide which side you want to rais or lower, and then jack up the truck on that side, and you can tighten or loosen that big bolt to raise and lower that side. it will be some trial and error, but if you measure and it is truly a couple inches difference, you should be able to compensate for it, also check and make sure the bolt or some part of the torsion bar hasn't been broken or bent.

Proabably a dumb question guys, but are the torsion bars on the front or the back (since you said 'align it afterwards' - i'm thinkng the front?

Yes the Torsion Bars are in the front. The Bolt that you tightend is towards the back of the cab.
