    Correcting Camber After Lift?

    Owner/operator of that LoneStar Tire & Wheel. He was up there 2-hours late on Sat waiting for Eric to finish alignments; supposed to close @ 5:00 but I didn't get out of there until nearly 7:00.

    Suspension went straight to the floor after complete overhaul

    You shouldn't be able to even start the 18mm bolt threading without having the torsion bar key torqued up with a torsion bar tool. you need to rent the torsion bar tool from the AutoZone or wherever and then the orientation of the key/bolt/bar within that crossmember should make more sense. You...

    Suspension went straight to the floor after complete overhaul

    Google images of torsion bar keys using various phrases including the truck model. I would get you pics but it's raining here. If you don't have any progress or revelations with that, I should be able to update tomorrow. The bars can only go 1 way so I presume the keys are not installed and...
