Torsion bars for 4x4s...Do you want to crank them up to raise your front end?
Hello fellow 4x4 F150 owners,
If you want to raise the front end of your '97 and later F150 4x4 truck by 1 to 2 inches, this document should help you in making the necessary adjustments.
Front end re-alignment after adjustments to the torsion bars is probably not required but, I'd have it checked to make sure the alignment specifications are within the designated values.
Here's the link to the PDF document:
4x4 Torsion Bar Adjustment Procedure
If there are mistakes or errors, too bad...Not really, do inform me of mistakes or errors and I'll correct any and I will update the PDF file on my personal home page.

Well Done !!
d-man,
Excellent procedure ! Just a few thoughts to all; as d-man said, LEVEL grond is important. Measuring from the wheel rim is a good idea, jsut make sure air pressure is up/correct and equal on all 4's. A little issue, but one that affects the stance to a SMALL DEGREE.
Again, excellent job d-man. That's what makes this forum a must read.

Everyone,
Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad my efforts can be used by others as member's showing gratitude and appreciation is what makes it worth my time and effort.
Helping out other fellow F150 owners and members gives me a sense of satisfaction and like someone else said, contributions like procedures and other forms of help are just one of the avenues this website and forum create a fun and informative environment. You're welcomed.
If more of us could chip in and help with similar projects then we can all have a better F150 Experience, don't you agree?
BTW, if anyone is curious about creating PDF files, then let me know as I can point you in the right direction. I can tell you how to create PDFs at home with zero software investment $0. It's all free on the internet and pretty easy to learn.
Later,

dcovell,
Yep, perfectly legal and easily obtainable over the internet from universities and colleges everywhere. Actually, Adobe doesn't have a copyright on the process to make PDFs, they give it away to whoever wants it. What Adobe does copyright is their complete application program that creates PDFs and that only makes sense.
The technology or code steps to create PDFs are freeware and Adobe makes it available to anyone who can figure out how to use it. I assume their view is that if someone is smart enough to implement the tools into a package to create PDFs, then more power to them. The software I mentioned is therefore perfectly legal and Adobe basically promotes this kind of software development/creation. I guess they figure that more and more acceptance from the user public to use and create documents in the PDF format will ultimately help promote all the Adobe products that they have developed.
Does that explain it a tad better?
