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.
 












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?
