One side lower in front…

My Thing is about 1/2” lower on the right than the left. Is there anyway that can be adjusted?

Probably a broken leaf in one of the torsion bar stacks.
If it was my car, considering the trouble it takes to remove and inspect them, I would have a replacement set on hand before I started.
That way, it could be put right back together.

Then, I think I would have the front wheels aligned.

Check the rear, after assembling my Dad's after full restoration the front of was lower on one side over the other.
Found I had adjusted the rear torsion bars incorrectly.

Ken-
I miss your dad.
He was extremely helpful to me in coordinating the Dayton Kubel Treffens.
