I tried searching for this but the search didn't work for me.

My 98 Explorer sits unlevel side to side. Measured at the front the driver's side sits 5/8" lower than the passengers side. In the back the driver's side sits 1.25" lower. I know I can fix this by lowering the passenger side torsion bar a little bit but I would rather raise the drivers side. It doesn't sound like much but the passenger side looks better sitting higher so I would rather have the drivers side raised. Can I raise the drivers side and get the same effect? Thanks.
 






same message as below. Site goofed up.
 






Yup. that'll work as long as you have enough turns left in the adjustment bolt. It's just like doing half a torsion twist :) However, since it's worse at the back, I would check out your rear springs to make sure you don't have a problem there
 






Rear Sag

I had this probem with my 95 Sport , if you look underneath, the drag link from the sway bars are at different distances from the ground. I don't have that '95 anymore, but I hear that they were recalled for the rear sway bar. Maybe the same for the 98's too?
