I’ve always noticed that the front of my Explorer is lower on the driver’s side. I made sure my tires had equal pressure and measured at the center of the wheel well. Sure enough the driver’s side is about 1” lower than the passenger side.
I crawled under the truck and the passenger side torsion bar bolt doesn’t stick out as much as the driver’s side. Someone on this site told me once that Ford used different size bolts on both sides, which never made sense to me.
If I lift one side 1” should I be ok for a couple of weeks until I go get my alignment? I also have the leaf spring issue where it’s slightly lower on the driver’s side so I wonder if that affects the height of the front too. Thanks for any input.
