Default Torsion Bar Crank

Hey, im new to this forum and I had a question about doing a torsion bar adjustment on a 95 gmc jimmy sls 4 door 4x4, the front end sits about two inches lower than the rear and i was wondering if i can level it out without completely screwing up my suspension or doing a lift. I have read about the t bar crank in a few places and i was wondering how to do it. I read that it can wear out the bearings more quickly but is there any way i can do this without new shocks (which i just got) or wearing out the bearings? oh and i have to get my alignment done this week anyway so that isnt a problem

I used this phrase just yesterday I believe so please, don't take offense:

Not to be an a$$,

but if I could post up an icon of beating a dead horse, I would. This has been covered more than any other topic. A simple search would have answered more than any questions you had. And then some.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be rude. It is just that so many folks ask the same thing over and over and over yet again. A very simple search would provide the answers that new members, and even older members, are looking for.

If/when I join a new forum, I always look through older post for anything that I may wonder about. If there is something specific I want to know, I dig deep before asking.

Just saying...

Almost everything you could ever need to know about a blazer is on here, so if everyone used the search feature on this site then what would we be here for? just saying... i do agree tho this topic is really easy to find out info about.
but your question about needing new shocks no you wont need them. but if you just got an alignment that might be kinda bad because after doing this you might need another one.

Just a thought. You say your front end is lower than the rear? Your t-bars may be sagging or lower than stock. So if I were you I would check your trim levels against stock specs to see if it is lower than it is supposed to be. If it is lower, than you can return them to where they should be without fear of extra wear on your front end parts.

You may have to search around to find how to measure the trim levels and what they should be. Swartlkk has a few threads on it.
