Suspension/Height issues
Ok so my dakota is a 4x4 and when i got it my rear section of the frame was cracked on both sides, so i halved another frame off another dakota that was two wheel drive in and it jacked my *** end up about 4 inches i think...dont know because i didnt measure....wasnt thinking. after searching and searchin for a way to lower it back down a little more stock, i decided to get the re-indexed keys so that i can get the extra life and make it a bit more level....got them installed and cranked them enough to clear 33x9.5s. i live in snow not mud. there better. but anyways, i dont have the indexed keys cranked all the way up, its about 2 inches from topping out but it looks like my torsion bars are bent, i dont think they are but is more of an eye play but you get the worry. i dont need stuff broken....also the whole driver side of my truck is about 3/4 of an inch lower than the passenger side, but since i dont have shocks on the rear and stockers up front, i dont know what to think....any idea on the torsion bars, and about the length of shocks i would need all the way around. the rear measures 40.5 to the middle of the wheel well and the front is 38.75 inches. any information at all would be helpful. i dont do alot of mobbin i just wanted it as a daily driver.
If you cranked it up so much the torsion bar is bending it is not safe. Crank the down a bit till it is straight. If one side is higher then the other, then just crank down the high one a bit till it matches the low side. Very simple. Go to www.summitracing.com and you can buy some shocks for lift. Or do what I did just weld up an extended tab to mount up the shocks.
