Ball Joint

Im sure there is a thread some where about this but i dont feel like serching no time. so if i do a 1.5 ball joint spacer is it going to be to much for the a arms? like wear my tires out on the inside as if it would with the torion bars turned up that much? my torsion bars are seized up. my a arms are almost backwards they are so relaxed.

I don't understand the question, but I'm sure I could answer it if I did as I just installed BJ spacers, messed around with T-bars and alignment/

Not if you get an alignment after you install them

You need an alignment after BJ spacers, or the outside of your tires will wear fast. here's how the truck sits after the spacers (I already lowered the T bars). So, yes, you need an alignment.
