Just measure the height from the center of the front wheel well on both sides. Shocks have nothing to do with ride height since they do not support the weight of the truck. Measure height as described above and adjust torsion bars.

After torsion bars are adjusted jump a little on the front side to level things out. My guess is they settled in a little differently after the intial adjustment. Adjust again and let settle. Adjust again if desired.

Shocks have zero to do with height (Except for air shocks, etc...)

The t-bar leveling is more art than science...and even fresh from Nissan, the ride heights and front rear left right will not be exactly the same...within a half inch side to side maybe, but different.

I replaced my shocks at about 50K anyway, 'cause they sucked...and I was lifting 3" anyway.

Yeah, I ran into that too. Just get another wrench (I lost my other one in that size and used an adjustable wrench, which is when Ian added to my title on the left wink and let it find something to rotate into to hold it in position and you can then go to town on the jamb nut on top...
