Can anyone link me to a thread on cranking torsion bars 2 inches ??? I was looking for some pics maybe on locating the parts....

 

hey guys, help us out, im dyin to know how to do this too! any help is very appreciated!

 

k go under your truck and you see the round bars that go from your lower control arm that is neext to the wheel to the mid of the truck about where the end of the transmission is. there are one bolt for each bar that is pointed straight to the ground. tighten those when its on a lift. if you actually look under your truck youll find it in a second, its not hiding anywhere, its in plain sight. the keys that there tightening might have rust on them. if you totally clueless find the rust. or google it. I would post a pic up if i had one but its already late. do a search about the effects of it too. I cranked mine and love it while others diagree.

 

just to level out your truck do you have to re-align your tires or anything, or is it as easy as crankin them up?

 

I would suggest going out and buying the leveling kit. Cranking the torsion bars will lift it but the ride will be terrible. Go here and do it the right way.... http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...con/32903.html

 

Even in your link above it says the ride will be harsher...so is it the right way? You could do 1 truck "cranked" and some will same it rides like S##T and others will say its nice firm now. You can do it to 5 different trucks and some will feel harsher than another. It all depends on wear of components, etc.
So...crank it up to your 2 inches, if you like the ride get an alignment done. If you don't like the ride, lower it a bit (1/4) turn and try it again. Try it till you like it then get your alignment done. And yes you should get an alignment done even though some don't.

 

do a google search. There are about 4 different guides with pics. just search "cranking torsion bars"
