front suspension
hi. i backed the truck out the garage the other day. its been in the garage all winter getting verious parts replaced. anyway, we cranked up the torsion bars a little to try to get rid of the front end sag. i noticed when i pulled it out and stepped back, that the tires were leaning in on top. what would cause this. were in the process of replacing front end parts(ball joints) anyway, is it bad t-bars themselves? overcrank? didnt think we maxed them. never noticed this before so just wondering. thanks.

Re: front suspension
This question might be better answered on the 4WD/Offroad forum. Maybe one of the mods will move it, if it'll help.

Re: front suspension
Hi Di. The front end by design causes the tires to tilt in at the top when the front is raised. Did you lift it by 3 or more inches? It's time for an alignment.

Re: front suspension
thanks guys. we raised it a little,not quite 3". so thats why? ok. just so i know. were replacing ball joints and such so it will be going in for allingment for sure.
not liking the rougher ride idea.......but it was sagging pretty good. couldnt even think about running 285's.
