torsion bars are on the front of 4wd trucks, you may be able to find more info on them by searching for "torsion bars" on this site

 

if you have a 4x4 look under the truck toward the front and you will see a round bar about 3 feet long that runs to the a-frame from a cross member. at that cross member there will be a bolt hanging down, if you turn the bolt clockwise it will increase ride height.

 

Oh but I have a 2WD. Someone asked me a couple posts ago.

So you guys think that i can get away with just using the lowering shackles while towing?

 

... You lost me there...

 

The shackels should work well with your application. I used Ground Force 2 inch shackels on my old 2wd and towed a very heavy car hauler with no problems. That weight distribution hitch helps out alot.

A good way to kind of check it all out: measure your rear stock ride height (unloaded). Then hook up the trailer and loaded it, measure the rear ride height again. With that loaded ride height subract 2 inches (roughly, for the new lowered shackels). Then you can use all those numbers to help make your decision.

 

hey i didnt think about that. Thanks! ill check that out. Ugh now to drag the trailer out lol...

 

Yeah, it will be a little work. Hopefully it helps out in your choice!! Good luck.
