I owned a 93 P/U ExtCab 4WD, 22RE that had the same differences.

I was told by my dependable Toyota dealer mechanic at the time that the LEFT side was aabout an inch lower (stock) than the right on my truck. Like you, we took measurements. I was replacing my shocks with Ranchos, then installed add-a-leafs in the rear to perk up the older leaf springs. We adjusted the torsion bars in the front about 5 turns to even things out but the LEFT side was about a 1/2" to 3/4" lower after all was said and done. It wasn't too noticable to me.

If you do decide to adjust the torsion bars to get some lift or 'even' things out, beware as your front end will drive 'tighter'.

By the looks of your suspension pics, dirt, rust, etc,... your truck 'looks' like a 93 and not a 4Th Gen T4R.
 
Exactly. It has a bit of a "lean" built into it, based on the driver.

I miss TORSION bars. But, yea, if it bothers you, you can get under there and adjust the torsion bars to fix it a bit.

And yea, that looks exactly like my 91 runner did up in the front end.
