how do i know if...
i didnt want to post this but i just couldnt find it....its about torsion bars. i bought my truck about a month ago and it looks pretty high. how do i know if the torsion bars have already been cranked? i looked at therangerstation link and that didnt do crap for me. i dont really know what im looking for. a bolt....front end....i think i am just overlooking it or somethin. can someone help me out?

Another quick way to tell, is that if the LCA's are parallel to the ground then they are not cranked...the idea of SLA IFS (short/long arm Independent Front Suspension) is to take the bumps at a 90* angle thus the reason why after you crank your t-bars the LCA is at about a 25-30* angle to the ground and the rise is horse poop. However if you ditch the sway bar up front the ride improves drastically with the t-bars cranked
