Factory tortion bar setting, please help!!

How do you find out if the tortion bars have been cranked on? The rear of my rig is sitting a little lower than the front. The leafs seem to be right, so this is the only thing I can think of. It was like this when I bought it and I now decided to do something about it. Is there any way to know what the factory was on the tortion bars?

could be the springs are worn out. Stats would probably help to get more replies.

Look at your bump stops. Their should be equal distance between the upper bump stop and the lower bump stop. They've been cranked if your upper bumps stop is closer to contact that the rear.

I have a 92 reg cab w/ a 3.0. Pretty stock except for the three inch body lift. 33x12.5 maxxis mudders. I had someone at a shop look at the springs and they said that they were alright. The only thing I know it could be is the tortion bars. If there was some way of knowing how they were from the factory, I would put it back that way. If I were to take pics would it help?

Thanks for the replies,
T-BONE
