By loosening, therefore reducing ride height, the camber will go positive and toe will go out, correct?? (52, by your post above my toe should go in with lowering and out with raising, but by my observation of the tierod geometry I would think it should be opposite, at least on this truck???) Either way, I plan to do the following:

I'm going to loosen the torsion adjustment bolts until they just meet the torsion keys. Then I'll tighten them equally on both sides until front height is equal to rear (measured from frame just behind the front wheels, and just in front of the rears). After that I'll check my camber and toe and adjust as necessary. I'm thinking app. 0.5 negative camber and app. .25 (or app. 1/16) of toe in.


By loweringthe ride height, the top of the tire will be pointed out more than it is currently. In theory, at least.

The toe out should increase at well.

As far as going to the extreme adjustment, that doesn't work very welldue to manufacturing tolerances and varying wear in suspension parts. You may end up with a crroked ride. I prefer to use a tape measure and the fenders to make sure it's level.

Bottomline, if you don't trust the mechanic who did the work, find another one. There are lots of lazy people in the world, and many end up fixing cars.
