Default adjuster bolt on tosion bar?

How many turns did your adjuster bolt go in or what is the measurement from the head of the bolt to the adj. Nut ?

I know everyone's is different, just wanna see if I'm in a ball park range. Without the torsions being cranked.

Why are you asking this? did you adjust your T-bars and are now adjusting them back? or do you suspect they are cranked already? 1 full turn of the bolt generally = .25" of lift. So if your front looks level with the back i would say dont worry about it. if you're +/- 2 turns it wont hurt anything.

Long story short I changed LCA bushings and ball joints. My adjuster bolts were only 1/2" out. Shop changed bushings and removed marks I had on LCA in relation to t- bar. Put them back to what I thought was the line up and now when I jack it up the arms move about 2 inches b4 it lifts the truck. I don't know who installed the lift or what the previous owner did just trying to fix it.

That doesnt sound too far off. Is your front suspension really stiff? But when you park it on flat ground as long as it looks level i wouldnt worry to much about it. If one side is higher than the other then i would adjust them.

The frame is on jack stands and the suspension free, when I jack up the arms they go about 2" before it lifts the whole truck. My adjuster bolt is only sticking out of the nut 1/2" its almost all the way in. Im just gonna test and tune the adj bolt, just wanted to see where I should start.

make sure when your done and you get it set to your liking that you take it in to get aligned. or your front end will wear out quickly
