22re, rear suspension. truck leans to one side?

So whats the deal. my truck has some major gangster lean in the rear. i measured the distance from top of tire to inner fender well and one side has about 1.5in more than the other. Ive seen a bunch of yotas that lean like that.

What could it be and how do i fix it

Shocks, leafs or torsion bar adjustment, if shocks are good leafs are good alignment shop should be able to get it leaning away from the gangsta's pending you are working with IFS??

off the subject. i just did the HG and water pump etc. but now im getting error code 52. its says either timing is off or knock sensor.

It was running rough so i loosened the dist while it was running and slid the dist until i got a good idle then tightened but the codes been going off still. ill check the sensor but i dont think its that cause im not getting any knocking sound

If your going to do a spacer lift deal with the lean until you get that done you will need an alignment after anyway, as far as adjusting up to you unless you have a bay at your disposal hard to do in a driveway. Although I'm no expert at the torsion bar adjusting I don't think it's as simple as tweaking them with a simple turn and it's all good.

Search around on the ball joint spacers plenty of threads covering everything your thinking about doing, good luck

if your truck is leaning to the side in the REAR, it probably has nothing to do with your t-bars on the front suspension - it's more likely there is a problem with your leaf springs, like a broken one -- check the rear before the front.
