So since my purchase 13 years ago I noticed passenger side is higher. Noticeable enough where on flat ground walking towards the vehicle, drive nice and smooth tho with occasionally camping trips so ground clearance not a problem. New F/R OEM shocks 25k miles ago with new bushing on F/R sway bars bushings and rear upper / lower control arm plus rear lateral rod. I have all the records since new so I noticed that at 100k PO asked dealer to advise aforementioned condition but zero charges or notation, among other routine maintenance.
I recalled at one time when I was searching for springs right and left got different part number wonder if springs or torsion bars may improve the different height.
The measurements are
LF center to fender 18.5” ground to fender 33”. RF center to fender 19” ground to fender 34”
LR center to fender 19” ground to fender 34”. RR center to fender 20” ground to fender 35”

Thank you!
 
@Hulsty thank you!
So adjust the torsion bar to lower the passenger’s side or increase height on the driver’s side. Is 1” insignificant just cometic? With almost 200k the torsion bars needs replacement ie like shocks?
 
Driver's side ride height will change depending on weight of driver and how much fuel is in the tank. You can adjust height with torsion bar adjustment bolt and adding/removing spring spacers in the rear (or replacing with longer/shorter/softer/stiffer springs), but you will have to pick one fuel level to adjust it to. The rest of the time it's going to be higher or lower.
