I'm glad I didn't crank them again then, didn't want to pay for another wheel alignment just yet. Thanks again boys.

I cranked my torsion bars and my tires got chewed up , only on the outside of the tire . Not like the drawing on page two but just the opposite . Thats with new wheel bearings all new ball joints tie rod ends torsion bar mounts and brand new tires (goodyear) . I really enjoyed the added height but not worth my tires so I put it back the way it was . Even though my tires look like brand new on the inside but the outside edge is bald .

That's weird, I wonder if it could have been the toe or caster that caused that. After you lowered it back to where it was originally, did the odd wear pattern stop?
