Newbie here. I have a 99 ranger step side and i did some measuring. The rear is 1/2" lower on the passenger side but in front both sides are even. How do I go about leveling this up in just the rear?
Thanks

you should be able to uncrank your torsion bars a bit. a half inch insn't that bad.

Check your tire pressure? If the rear is uneven it could be worn out shocks/leaf packs. If the fronts uneven, which you said it wasn't, then you would adjust the torsion bars accordingly.

Now why didn't I think of that. You'd think after being around for 67 yrs I would have. But you young whipper snappers have the answers. (LOL)
I have to thank all of you for all the things I have learned here. I had gotten away from working on the cars & trucks, but now I'm back at it and it feels good. Again thanks to all of you.

Or.....

You could fill it up with a full tank of gas! That'll add about 200lbs to your driver's side.
