What would make the suspension lower on one side more so than the other? I noticed that the drivers side is lower than the passenger. I was thinking this may have something to do with torsion bars...any help with this would be great!

Thank you

Torsion bars need to be set at the proper ride height,
which means a complete front end alignment.

ok...but can the level be off because of an out of wack alignment? The truck is not pulling and rides fine....when you adjust the torsion bars does it adjust both sides at the same time or can you adjust one side higher than the other?

You can adjust the torsion bars independently, which
changes the ride height, which changes the front end
geometry, which requires a complete alignment.
