Default Re: Another Torsion Bar Question...

You do need to crank your torsion bars. On average it will be about 2.5 turns. Always have the front end off the ground when you adjust the torsion bars. Try 2.5 turns and let your front tires back on the ground. Measure from the center of the front wheel to the lower edge of the fender. That is the measurement you are looking for.

You should remeasure after you have driven your truck for a week or so. The front end might settle a little and may need another crank on the t bar. Most people have been happy with just under 24". Most people have also been happy when they replaced the front shocks with the cognitos and got the 1/2" extended bumpstops. The bumpstops help prevent nose dive and the shocks are better suited to the suspension travel you now have.
