    Torsion bar adjust/ SAR This friday?

    Hey guys Im sorry to sound stupid...But where is the torsion bar in the front and what does it look like? I want to crank it up a notch so the truck will look even? Pics would be greatly appreciated..Ive heard its easy to do I just wanted to make sure

    Also me and my buddy are I think going to SAR to test out his camaro haha(my old one I sold to him) and we want tunes...

    Anyone want to meet up and Allen can you go to tune our rides?

    You should have them. You will need a front end alignment once you adjust them. They need to be adjusted evenly and on level ground. Look at the round bar coming out from under the lower a arm and leading toward the rear of the truck.

    It is an easy process if you know where everything is located... Jack the truck up and put jackstands underneath... Trace the torsion bars back to where it meets the frame--then crank the bolts (5-10 turns) evenly on both sides--you may want to get a pencil or chalk to set witness marks so you know you get both sides even. Once you have tighened the bolts to yield the proper ride height, drive up and down the street to "set" the new adjustments. Then get out and measure the distance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel well and make sure both sides are even--repeat the process as necessary to make sure both sides are even. You may also need to trim or get new bump stops. The stock ones will be too tall once you have cranked the torsion bars... Your ride smoothness will be compromised if you perform this task incorrectly or have too tall of bump stops... You will need to go have the truck aligned because it WILL come out of adjustment. It's an easy free mod, but if you have a 4WD place close by, go visit them and ask some questions before you start.
