Torsion bar bolts adjusted differently ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys so I bought a 2012 3500 and I noticed the torsion bar bolts are adjusted different depths? I have measured from the ground to the bottom on the fender flare and they are the exact same height? I can’t figure out how that is possible? Are they all like that? Doesn’t makes sense to me? 24ef850f15794a5248c2fe30a27bd61d.jpg866ed2eda90aa2e9961f218c378cedbc.jpg

Don't go by the amount of adjustment on the bolts.  One of the benefits of torsion bars is the ability to correct some of the lean.  You don't want a lot of adjustment because it essentially increases the load on that corner, but sometimes you need to do this to correct a ride height variance.  My 2500HD has been adjusted tighter drive side.

Never measure from the body too much variation. Correct measurement is the "Z" height look it up in your service manual for your truck model.
