I would like to crank up the torsion bars on my 97 Ram 1500 5.9L, I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to suspension parts at all. Where are the adjustment bolts on this truck, what would be a safe limit to raise them without doing major wear and tare, and do I need an alignment after words? I know to do both sides the same, can I just put a level on the front bumper to keep it the same on both sides? I have 285/75/16 tires if I remember right and they rub a little bit so im hoping I could get enough lift out of it to stop that and make it look a little more mean. Anyone have any pics before and after as well?

 

Check you tube. Plenty of how-to's on cranking torsion bars. You can get 1-1/2 to 2" sometimes. Recommended to get alignment after.

 

Cranking the torsion bars is going to make the ride stiffer/harder, just something to keep in mind when or if you do it.

 

Pretty sure 2nd gen Rams dont have torsion bars.... 2wd or 4wd. Those are in 3rd gen 4x4's IIRC.

 

Crap, you're right. Solid axle.

 

Lol at ifs.

 

LOL at thinking he had torsion bars! Oh well, thats we I get for having a truck with superior riding front IFS suspension.

 

Ok I'll come pull you out of the ditch with my plow truck suspension

 

So beings its solid axle it don't have tortion bars?

 

Nah, don't do ditches. I know how to drive.
