torsion bar crank

dukbludvl · March 31, 2003

I want to crank my front torsion bars on my 2000 Yukon 2wd. I was wondering if I have to lift the truck up with a jack to do it, or if I can just put it up on ramps and crank from there -- or even just leave it on the ground. Anyone who has done this or knows how, please let me know.

Leave it on the ground. That way you can keep accurate measurements as you go up.

2wd suv do have t-bars and leave it on the ground.

Also measure from the ground to the frame not the top of the wheel well.

Were you able to get this done? I looked at my truck yesterday after putting on some BFG TA/KOs 298/75/16s and after reading several posts here. I must admit that I don't know much about this so I wasn't able to get mine done. I'm certainly willing to try but I didn't want to mess anything up. Anybody out there willing to give me a good description of what needs to be done?

I noticed my steering wheels has a slight right and left motion since I put these tires on. Not much but say at around 45mph I let the wheel go it will move right and left about 1-2 inches.

Any help is certainly appreciated.
