Raising Torsion Bars
I was talking to my brother in law, who is a successful mechanic, about getting a 2 1/2" leveling kit. He told me that it is a waste of money and he can just raise the torsion bars up a little and have the same effect. He said the only differnce i will notice is it may ride a little rougher. Has anyone else done this on their truck? I'm pretty sure it can be done. Most of my family are Chevy fans, and he has leveled a few of their trucks this way, and they don't complain, but I would like a Ford truck perspective. Thanks for the help.
