I'm replacing my upper control arms, and thought it would be the perfect time to level the truck too because I need cam bolts. However, when I went to tighten the drivers side torsion key bolt, the bar itself did not change the height, and the drivers side suspension has almost no give at all, I did not have this issue with the passenger side. What is likely the issue that I need to fix? The torsion keys are not even close to being maxed out.
 
Try loosening the torsion bar and make sure there isn't any gravel stuck in the area around the key preventing it from moving.
 
I feel like a couple pics might help here. Relative ride height on both sides, and torsion adjustment.
