Torsion bar bolts
Copied from another forum I posted on o: Anyone think they know the answer?
My question stems from a recent attempt at putting a 2 inch lift on my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L QC 4WD. This is something a knowledgeable friend of mine and I did, as he has done a few himself.
When lifting the truck, I purchased a set of 2 inch lift blocks, and got my u-bolts remade to be a bit longer. Once we got those on (and had fun with the driver side axle shifting forward a little bit), we went to raise the torsion bars. The driver side torsion bar bolt was all the way out, like it should be, but the passenger side was already twisted up as far as it would go. The thing is, the truck is even, and not slanting to the right.. what gives? When raising the driver side, everything works as it should, but then there's a slant to the right.
Any insight would be appreciated, everyone we called did not know and the local shop did not have an answer either.
