Default saggy front end

Hello everyone. I got a 2001 4x4 blazer and the front end sit really low. My front tires are P235/ 70/15 and the back are LT235/75 / the problem is I want to put 30x9's on it but the front will rub with any larger tires than 235/70 . Can any one help me with the issue.

No pics yet but on the right side the fender has 2 sit about 1 inch above the top of the tire. But on the driver side it might sit maybe 2 inches the tire.

sounds like worn out springs and shocks if you want to get your front up try replacing those first or use lift springs and shocks if you want to get higher for bigger tires

Yeah, the 4x4's don't have front springs, and shocks have nothing to do with ride hieght...lol You are going to want to get a SET of tires all the same size...running different sizes on a 4x4 will eventually tear up your t-case. Glad you got the torsion bar thing figured out...now it's time for a good proper allignment.

Supposedly cranking your torsion bar too high will wear out your ball joints, tear up your cv boots, and put a lot more strain on you're cv joints... despite these warnings I cranked mine up anyways
