Question Torsion Bars Question

I was wondering what is the best way to even the torsion bars on my truck?When I got it,one side was slightly off.I found some lift parts in th x-cab and I think it had a lift that someone removed and didnt get the torsion bars correct.I dont think my driveway is level so I dont want to eyeball it.Thanks for any help.

Check out the threads on the torsion bar adjuster. If they are uneven, even them up and see where you stand.

Better yet, do it on a flat surface. Make sure you account for the amount of gas you have in your truck

Try to take a pic of the parts you found in the cab. We could probably tell you what the previous owner took off.

You dont have too. Just have to move it forward and backward and jump on the bumper a few times to set everything..

It's a lot easier if you jack since you're not fighting the weight of the truck.
