Torsion Rod Alignment Question

[blown240]

I thought I would put this hear instead of the suspension forum since it applies to our years more...


A few months back I lowered my panel with dropped rear springs and loosening the torsion bars.

This obviously made the camber way off, and Im going thru tires REALLY fast. The problem I have is that there is only 1 alignment shop I've found that will align it, and they are VERY overpriced.


I went and took some very rough measurements of the angles. Since I don't have a flat place to park the truck, I took the measurements by comparing front wheels to back.

My front passenger wheel is 7 degrees out at the top compared to the back. MY drivers front is 0 degrees out from the back. Also, the passenger wheel has a 1" spacer that is coming out as soon as I get some longer wheel studs.

So what do I do?

1. Fork out the money, and hope they can get it close enough.
2. Raise the truck back up until I can get the money together to lower it correctly. Money is VERY tight right now.
3. Try to align it myself.....

Here are a couple pic if they help:

you can see how far out the front wheels lean:
