My tuck has a lean. It’s about 1.5 inches higher on pass side. So I’m wondering if I could adjust torsion bar to get me 1.5 in to level it out. So I looked underneath and didn’t see anything like a torsion bar. Does this model come with one?Thanks

Good morning,

The torsion bar is only with 4 wheel drive models. You have a coil spring suspension.

It most likely is a worn-out coil spring. I attached the procedure for you for replacing the springs.
