down travel uneven?

I jacked up the front of my rig yesterday and I found that my front pass side droops lower then my drivers side... Anybody have any idea why that is? I havn't touched the torsion bars so those should be even

thanks guys

Are you missing a bump stop?

maybe the torsion bars have been touched before or even at the factory, since the gas tank is on one side (passenger) then maybe that side is cranked more?

The torsion bars shouldn't have anything to do with the amount of travel, the amount of travel is dictated by the bumpstops. When jacked up, check to see whether your A-arms are touching the bumpstops. If not, then I'd say there's some kind of binding in the suspension somewhere, maybe bushings or something. If the A-arms are touching, then the bumpstops aren't at the same height, whether by mounting location or bumpstop thickness.
