Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
My son bought a 87 extra cab with 33 X 12.50 X 15's on it. The PO had turned the torsion bars way up on it. We were trying to drop them back down and one side refuses to drop. We have taken the bolt at the rear near the tranny completely out and the front doesn't drop. Need suggestions and advice.
Thanks,
Fred

What do you mean by "refuses to drop"?
the bar wont turn at all? What happens if you let the truck down, do the A-arms move then? Sounds like you may need to replace the suspension bushings.

The A arms function as they should with the suspension on the ground. But the A arm is still turned in the down position (with the bolt completely loose) as it would be if you were cranking on the torsion bar to give yourself more tire clearance. On the other side if I back off on the bolt my tire clearance decreases.
