Exactly, each truck is different. You could always max them out then go back a couple cranks to what your comfortable with.

 

i have a 94' ranger. 2WD. do you know if i have TB's

 

nope you don't.

 

i hate my life.

how do you know what cars do have them?

 

from what i understand its the 4x4's that have them and the 2wd's have conventional springs. But someone else should confirm this.

 

what exactly are they also?

 

98+ 4wd have them, every Edge has them, as well as the Tremor Package in 01? I believe. The only ones that have coils are xl 2wd I think. Anything under 98 has coils whether it is 2wd or 4wd

The torsion bar behaves like a spring, it is a bar that twists and reacts, creating a spring effect.

 

so my 94' 2wd XL doesnt have em? for sure?

 

1 billion percent sure.

Look at the beginning of this thread, see the pics? Those are torsion bars.

 

I believe your truck has the twin I-beam front end. I forget what yr they stopped running that on the ranger.

 

He is 2wd, only Arms up there, no need for a TTB, cause there are no axles.

 

well i did some research. HE does have the TTB front end!! they stopped running that set up in 97!! The twin I-beam set up was for only the 2wd's 4x4 had front springs.

 

you gentlemen have me quite confused.

should i snap a picture of what i have tomorrow? so you guys can take a look?

 

Why not. Im sure you have the twin I-beam set though. A good set up !!

 

whats TTB? lol. i couldn't figure out what that ment.

 

You have TTB Suspension.

Twin Traction Beam

You do not have torsion bars. And do not take pics. There is no need.

 

Word.

 

MNy bad lol, I thought that there were only a-arms.

 

All good. That's the great thing about this site you learn something all the time from other people on here! I happens to me A LOT!!!

 

83-92 had TTB
93-97 had TTB
98+ 4x4s have Torsion Bars
98+ 2wds have Coils
01+ Edges/Tremors have Tosion Bars regardless of 2wd or 4x4
98+ Trailheads have Torsion Bars

 

Why did i crank mine 3 turns per side and only got like 1/2 a inch? do FX4's take more cranks? turn them clockwise right, like crank from left to right if your under your truck?

 

Just depends on which bars you have. Some are more rigid than others thus for take less or more turns for the same end results. some you may be able to get just a lil more lift out of than others also.

 

Turn the bolts clockwise from under the truck if your looking up at the bolts. right? like left to right

 

that tightens the bolt which increases the tension on the torsion bars, thus raising the front end. Loosening is the opposite...

clockwise = tighten, counterclockwise = loosen

 

Alright i was under the truck and was thinking is it clockwise looking at the bolt from the top or under it?
