I was leveling my truck with the T Bar and it looks like my nut on the passenger side one has moved and the bolt is on an angle. I can't imagine with the torque on it that it could move that far?? Could this have been from wheelin hard?? Any ideas of fixing it with out C-Clampin it up and adjusting it.

That doesn't sound too good! You'll have to get it up in the air and then unload the torsion key to then reset the position of the bolt & cross bar (what the bolt threads into).
