they are under the truck if you look hard enough

You tighten the bolts to get lift, and loosen them to lower the truck- just like a regular bolt.

Go buy one spare nut and bolt as its likely that at least one will be seized and break.

oh wow, are you serious?

for god sakes, if you don't know where they are or can't find them, please don't touch them...


and you're not even a newB 74 posts? you should know better...

If it is a 4wd truck, look for the bar that comes off of the rear of the upper control arm and runs towards the rear. On the end is a lever through which a bolt runs.
If it were a 2wd truck, look for the bar that comes off the rear of the lower control arm and runs towards the rear. On the end is a lever through which a bolt runs.
Either way, tighten the bolt and you add tension to the bar and relax the tension and you relax the bar.
I think that was mentioned above, but just felt motivated to reply.

Just look for the 4' long a little less than 1" thick bar extending from the upper control arm (4wd, LCA on 2wd) towards the rear of the truck. It will attach to a frame cross member. That's your t-bar.

dont hate, i didnt know where they are either

iamsuperbleeder

I'm not hate'n, I'm just expressing the fact that I don't think someone need to mess with things if they don't even know what their looking for...

go to messing with the t-bars without knowing what your doing, and you're opening up a whole other can-o-worms with alignment, tire wear, more stress on idler arm and tie rods, etc...

I'm speaking from experiences here, I'm not just ranting...

dude heres what you do when you find em..... put a jack under your truck and take all the load off the front suspension untill you have clearance between the ground and the tire, then go grab your dads 1/2 air impact witha 22mm socket and rap those suckers tight untill the gun stops turning, then you know they are adjusted.

Not recommended

iamsuperbleeder

lmao, that's exactly why I suggested not to mess with them if you don't know much about them... someone new to the whole torsion-bar thing, that's exactly what they would do because "it make's yer truck high, which equals kewl!"

correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't the OP ask how to get them back to stock?

arizonaguy

cooooooooooooooooooooooooool you mean i get to lift my truck with out spending any money?

durtyrunner94

yes you correct he wants to go to back to stock. there are a few of us here that arent jackasses and i think you can figure out who they are. go by what they said and it will be back to factory as you would like it

iamsuperbleeder

jackass? who's a jackass?

1) I think that the first reponce by mt_goat probably answered his question pretty good, so anything after that was pretty much useless, lol

2) if you're refferring to me as one of those jackasses, well then to each his own; I was simply expressing my feelings, and trying help someone out from possibly doing more harn than good

Everyone is at one point a jackass.

iamsuperbleeder

haha, well that I will agree with

GSGALLANT

With any significant adjustment of the T-bars, you should be getting an alignment after anyways.

You need to relax man. That is what this site is for; TOO ASK QUESTIONS!

everyone has to learn sometime, at you have to start somplace.
