Torsion bar crank...first attempt ever
Since I put these 31x10.5s on everybody said I should crank the bars. Did some reading/learning and tried it out today. The passenger side was about 3/8" lower than the drivers side at stock height since I've owned the truck but I worked on it for awhile today, drove it, adjusted, drove it, adjusted it, etc. about 4 times until I got about a 1.25" up on the drivers side, and about an 1 5/8" up on the passenger side. All evened up and about an 1 1/4 total lift on the front. On the drivers side for instance I had a 34" from the floor measurement to the fender lip and now have a 35 1/4" measurement and even on both sides. Does seem to look a lot better especially with the new wheels and tires and the already lumber cart ride didn't get affected much. You think I should get an alignment now?
