How do I go about raising the front of my truck by adjusting the torsion bars. I just need a little bit to keep my tires from rubbing.

Wow dude, way to post the same question 3 different times in a row in a very old thread.

This topic is very well covered on this forum. Obviously you know how to search if you found this old thread.

Sorry about the 3 times dude! I found some info about crankin them up on Faq2 a minute ago that said i could tighten stock torsion bars all the way up for a little lift. Maybe if I do that and get an allignment my tires wont rub anymore.

Should work. Keep in mind that it will cause a slightly harsher ride. Another option is a body lift that will clear bigger tires without changing the suspension. Just out of curiosity, what size tires do you have right now?

And definately get an alignment when you're done.

And next time don't be afraid to start a new thread, but this particular topic is brought up all the time.

I just got a set of 31x10.5 Mud Dawgs put on it yesterday. It does fine just normal driving, but when I get it in a little bind they rub a little. It is just rubbing the plastic guard under the bumper and the plastic body trim piece that goes from front fender well to rear fender well it is sticking out a little.
