Question Front side sagging

I have a 1992 4Runner SR5 (just purchased) and the right front side is about 1" lower, could this be the coil springs, is that common on 4Runners? I was thinking maybe it was the tires, or shocks?

Is that how it measures when it is level?
Does it have torsion bars? (sorry, not sure if the 4runners had these then. It was an easy fix on my last truck. I just tightened one torsion bar until the distance from tire to wheel well was the same)

Exactly. You might have to jack it up, tighten the nut, set it down, and measure it a few times to get it right. Easy fix, and free! You can even tighten it more if you want, then tighten the other side to match for a little more height in the front. Hope all goes well!
