I have noticed on mine and several other toyota trucks they always sit lower on the passenger side. This goes for stock and altered suspension trucks alike.

I can understand it to a point when the suspension has been altered but for stock vehicles too? anyone have a fix for this aside from cranking on the pass. torsion bars. I want to be able to fix this when I put my truck back together.

Possibly because the fuel tank is on that side?

Not for sure about the gas tank thing since its towards the back of the truck.

Every 2wd up till the 89 has always sat lower on the passenger side and it bugs the hell out of me. I wonder if its something to do with the torsion bars and the way they are designed? But then if it were the torsion bars it would be fixed after the torsion bar setup if removed.

Maybe it's directly related to the way the arms are mounted to the frame.

My friends 4 Runner sat much lower on the passenger side when he got his 20s. But thats because his wheel hit the firewall. Big rubber mallet fixed the problem.
If you can find it cheaper, I can fix it.

my 91 sits lower on the passenger side also,but my front crossmember has been dragged crooked,it's half way through the bolts on the driver side,and no where near the bolts on the passenger side.when I get in it my buddy said it was level....and to think,I always thought it was my fat ass,or dragging the front crossmember all the time by myself,anybody know how to fix this?maybe put 8 valves on instead of4,and run more air to one side? my 2 cents

my 88 sits lower on the passenger side as well. i aired my truck so it was locked out in the front and measured i think the way the bag brackets were mounted are 1/8" or less off from each other. i always thought it was cause of the gas tank to...but i noticed if i can feel it leaning if i air up that side a lil more to compansate for the lean my trucks stearing starts to pull...im gonna get an alignment and make sure my ball joints are cool maybe that would fix the problem. (for me anyways)

I found out why mine sat crooked a while back. The upper Arm on drivers side had about .08 worth of shims. The passengers side had 1.24 and 1.68 (between 1 1/4 - 1 1/2) of shims. Also due to this the pass. side had a real bad camber, thought the ball joints were going bad.
