Thumbs down Torsion Bars....

So, I changed both of my lower ball joints on my 1999 4x4. I ended up taking the lower arms off of the truck cause was easier to do on a bench. Anyway, when I took off the adjuster bolts for the torsion bars, the drivers side is turned in (tighter) more than the passenger side. The front ride height is equal side to side, so I was wondering, is the drivers side tighter to compensate for the driver, or should they be equal?

I'd put it back the way it was, since changing the adjustment will affect your alignment I would think. And then I'd probably spend the $60 for an alignment just to save wear on the tires and let them make sure it's adjusted properly.
