i have a 97 mounty AWD . and i looked at it the other day and it looked like it was leaning, and at that point i though the ground was un-even.....so i didnt pay any attention to it....but a few days later i was at a gas station and it looked like it was leaning on the drivers side front and rear so when i got home i took out a measuting tape and parked on a level surfface and the left side is a 1 1/4 lower from the right side...so at this point am i going to need new rear leafs and new front torsion bars?
 






Over time the drivers side does tend to lean due to the gas tank being on the drivers side instead of centered
 






not gonna need new t bars, they are adjustable, just crank the bolt a bit to level the front,,
but for the back, a junkyard spring pack from a passenger side might do the trick,
i had the lean too, and that is what i did,, , but i went a bit higher,
put in newer leafs, and an add a leaf , cause i trailer a bit,
than levelled out the front with the torsion twist,
