Hi,
I have a 2002 2500 HD, i am not impressed with the front end sag. I was wondering if it would be worth turning up the torsion bars? I have heard both good things and bad things about doing this. If I was to crank up the torsion bars, how would i do that? Is buying a leveling kit a better option? What size tires would i be able to fit if I were to crank up the torsion bars? Thanks for your time and ideas, Mike |

Do you know how many times you turned the nuts? Is there any part of the threads still left on the nuts? Did you screw them all the way in? about how much was the front end alignment? Thanks |
