Make sure nothing is binding up.

 

Make sure you tightened the bolts with the weight of the truck on them. I like to jump on the bumper with the springs bolted up, then tighten them so you know it's resting at ride height

 

mm- never thought of that JDM- thanks. things seemed to have leveled out side to side after I went for a ride down a 2.2 mile dirt road. We'll see what develops after getting back from the alignment shop. Thanks for all the help, guys..............

 

Well- after jostling down that dirt road and loosening the driver shackle a smidge the back seems to have settled. Now it's the front; as you can see, passenger side is sitting 1 1/2 inch lower than driver side- it's OK while driving in that ya don't really notice but getting out and looking at the truck makes my heart cry. Is this another time and settling thing? I did spindles in front............

 

Torsion keys...

 

That's the thing- nothing change regarding orientation of the bar crank. But I did get a look under there with the bar to LCA position, but wonder of there's any remedy here except cranking the T- bar now. the LCA is just kissing the bumpstop.............

 

Just adjust them. Theres always the Chevy lean, and the torsion bars are a nice way to fix that. Something the NNBS trucks dont have.
On my old SS, i had one side cranked more than the other just to have both side siting leveled.

 

Yeah- starting to accept that fact. Anyone care to run me thru a walk thru on adjusting the bars? How many turns for and inch, where to apply that C clamp tool etc.......... TIA

 

You dont need to use the torsion bar tool to adjust them. There is an 18mm bolt on each side that you can loosen. Just loosen the side you want to lower one turn at a time until it gets level.

 

Good lookin' truck, Black. I'm prolly overthinking everything again , I'll just get down there and see what I can do. Don't really wanna go lower, just adjust for the disparity between the 2 sides of the truck. Thanks for the info.......
