Default How do you adjust the Torsion Bars?

What effect with this have on the truck? The truck seems to rough ride, and I'm having an alignment problem. The passenger's side is of factory spec, by a tenth. Top of the tires bow out. I'm hoping this might cure some of or must of my problems.

Thanks Stamepde4

adjusting the torsion bars is usualy not a good thing to do. it puts added stress on the bars and can cause them to weaken quicker. however in your case, this might be the solution, but with that said, it could also mean something larger is wrong and adjusting the torsion bars might fix it temporarily. But if something larger is wrong with the suspension, adjusting the torsion bar might amplify the problem and only create a larger one.

it might be best to take it to a suspension shop and have them give it the once over to make sure nothing larger is wrong.

See if you can find a shop which aligns the vehicle without the computer. I've found I get a better alignment from the old shops who know what the hell their doing. Otherwise you stand a chance on getting a drugged out kid who has no idea what he/she is doing.
