T bar problem?
Came outside the other day and noticed my truck was canted to the passenger side, so I pulled it into the garage on level ground and measured the distance between the bump stops, and lca.... the pass side is about 3/4 inch less than driver side. It sat fine when I got it, and up until.... I guess.... a couple days ago. What would cause this? I have been loading her up pretty heavy lately... and crawling my way outta my woodlot...I also ripped the sway bar mount right off the frame on the drivers side while loaded and crawling out.... coincidence? Everything else looks ok....nothing broken(that I could see), Should I just crank up the pass side to level it out?

Crank them until the threads are both at the same heigth, and go from there. You may have a bent or broken part, or maybe the years of use have simply sagged the torsion bars.

possibly, the sway bar was the only thing holding your truck level and when the mount broke, it let the suspension settle to where it wanted to be?
so try cranking in the t-bar on the passenger side and levelling the truck out without the sway bar.
