Hey Guys, How Do You Turn The Torsions On A 01' Sierra Z71? Also How Far Should You Turn Them?

 

turn them using the bolts at the end of the torsion bar keys (at the end of the bar by the transmission crossmember). as for how far I'm not sure

 

Follow the torsion bar back to the back near the middle of the truck, where the torsion bar bracket is. There is a bolt and a nut assembly that you will see attached to the torsion bar, loosen nut and turn the bar right or left if you want to lower or raise the truck, do it on level gound and measue the top of the wheel well opening to the tire, then loosen or tighten torsion bar until it is even on both side(front). then get an alignment ASAP. P.S. jave the ties aired up evenly and the steering wheel staight before you do all this. Hope this helps

 

Just do them a 1/4 of a turn at a time. Be sure to do each side the same amount.

I've heard it makes the truck ride horrible. I would be sure to get an allignment done too. It will throw your camber off and wear your tires quickly.

 

My 2000 4x4 blazer I cranked the bars almost all the way. I measured ground to fender well at the center of the tire. It actualy gave it 4" of lift up front. Shackles and air shocks took care of the back. In all it was a cheap $150 lift including $50 for the allignment, which was only off like 1-2 degrees.

 

Thanks guys I think I can get it from here.
