Truck Height Uneven

First, I finished installing my Downey 3" lift in the rear this weekend along w/ new shocks in the front. I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me from choosing a lift to helping me w/ minor things during the install. Yotatech is awesome! I will post pics later of the new lift and the new tires I put on w/ some SR5 wheels. The truck rides and looks much better.

Second, before doing the install I noticed the truck was higher in the front and rear of the passenger side than on the drivers side. After installing the springs in the rear the truck is still uneven. On the passenger side the truck measures 14" in the front from top edge of rim to bottom part of the fender. For the rear it measures just a tad over 12". However, on the driver side the front measures 13 1/2" & the rear measures 11 1/2". Is this uneveness due to needing to adjust the torsion bars? Or is there something else that I am missing? I have not installed the downey HD torsion bars yet because I am waiting for the Nut, Locking Nut, and Bolt to come in from toyota. I know its not a big difference in height but its just something I like to fix if I can.

Thanks for your help guys!

Its an IFS setup. I have not installed the new torsion bars yet. So hopefully if it is the torsion bars then after the install it shoudl be leveled. I will report back once I install the torsion bars.

I was just wanting to find out if it could possibly be anything else.

Thanks
