Re: What did you do to your truck today??

I got this truck with 33’s and the p.o. cranked the torsion bars all the way up. It has been a stiff ride, there is interference when I’m turning while going out a driveway. I softened the ride by adjusting the torsion bars, each turn of the adjusting bolt lowered it about 1/8”. Eight turns and it lowered 1”. The ride was noticeably smoother, but there was interference when turning. I decided to shave off the end of the front bumper and the plastic piece there. While I was at it I replaced the shocks, one was bad. I also greased the ball joints. It looks like the upper A-arm may have been replaced as it is not rusty like everything else, and the upper A-arm ball joint has a grease zerk. The lower ball joint has no zerk.
