Truck sitting uneven

Evening everyone!!!!

I have searched quite a bit and came up with a lot of ride height issues but most have lifts etc.

Looking at my truck from behind on multiple even surfaces it sits lower on the passenger side, measured the top of my tires to the start of the fender and I’m 1/2 inch lower on the right rear tire, all the other tires are the same, my truck is completely stock, torsion bars have never been touched, leaf springs are original.

Where do I start? How can I determine if my leafs are poo? Torsion bar adjustment?

I know it’s a rabbit hole with the torsion bars but I’m just needing a direction to start

Thanks in advance and I hope your week is wonderful!!!!

Disco.

Thats the gas tank side. Hows she sit with an empty tank? or its possible that the pass rear has sagged a bit from carrying the weight of the fuel its whole live.

Seems to be the same full or empty, but could possibly be lower full but still lower empty I haven’t taken a measurement before full and empty but it’s always sagging either way…. possible the leaf is tired from years of carrying the extra weight, good thought

Check for broken springs in the the leaf-spring stack. I had that happen. I looked at the stack and one leaf was only half present. The other half? On the road somewhere no doubt.

My 2017 Tacoma does that. Annoying.

I will give the springs an inspection for a crack, they are all intact though, I also thought about bed/body mounts being I’m measuring from the body, all looks fine, well old but fine…..
