Default adjusting torsion bars

Well I turned up my torsion bars today. Why does the passenger side max out before the drivers side. I got 4 full turns and it maxed out on the passenger side, and it looks like I could go another 4 or 5 turns on the drivers side.

Is this normal, or is the torsion bar on the passenger side worn out. The truck only has 25,000 miles on it.

Thanks

Were they both equal when you began??

Also,remember to get the front end aligned after moving the height

Yea I have appointment for alignment Friday,

But about them being equal at first, if I turned them both one turn at a time keeped it the same, then no they weren't equal when I started. But I owned a 99 Silverado about 3 years ago, and had a shop turn mine up when I was getting new tires and the passenger side maxed out first on that one too!

I HIGHLY doubt you have a weak bar...I've seen 1...
Probably just normal tolerances... remember..the factory settings have to account for road-crown...a full gas tank,etc
