Question torsion bar and alignment ques.

Hi I just got down crankin down my t-bars and I have heard that you can wear out ur front tires quicker and yout front end. My buddy told me If I were to get an alignment done that would fix my problem of having my front end go out. So my question is woud that really help me to get an alignment!

The part about the front end "going out" needs to be elaborated on. The tie rods, BJ's, and CV's will most likely wear quicker but the front end "going out" is not so much of a problem if you stay on top of checking parts. Most everyone who has had a problem with components was given fair warning and either neglected it or lacks knowlege of the part that needs replacement and failed to recognize the condition of the component in question. When you crank the t bars even though adding extra stress to the front end it is very minimal due to the fact that you are modifing stock suspension travel numbers. The tie rods, BJ's and CV's are made for that kind of angle so stock travel with a higher stance has minimal additional wear and tear to the stock ride height. Get an alignment afterwords to fix the camber problem and you will be fine as long as the components are in good working order.
