You could have a sagging right torsion bar. Also if the truck was level before then, something is definately wrong, unless the left torision bar had been cranked before you bought the truck or something.

Nope they were exactly the same, but the right was 1/2 inch lower....
now I cranked the right T-bar what shoulda gave me 2 inchs and it only gave me 1/2 inch
Now they are level

Is that an easy fix? to replace both the torsion bars?

I actually cranked mine to level out the front from side to side. Cranked the driver's side down 5 turns and passenger's side up 5 turns. Measurement from tire to center of wheelwell on both sides was even after that. Any remedies for sagging bars?

How much does that run?
Difficulty 1-10?
Edit:
They are covered under warrenty :)
Does having a sagging front end give me reason for having them replaced? or do they have to break for them to be covered?

I thought it was pretty complicated to do without the right tools. GM makes a torsion bar unloading tool or something like that. Also you have to preload the bar if I remember correctly, which is pretty tricky. I'll see if I can't find the site I was reading about em on.

I had a heck of a time getting my torsion bars out of my truck. They were really rusted in there. Ended up having to use the hot wrench (getting the bar red hot) and smacking out the torsion. I used a c-clamp and cut the little knob part off to use as unloader, works perfect.

Do you think my warrenty company will cover torsion bars for sagging?
Or do they have to actually snap?
