Torsion Bars...Yes, cranked. I had a set of leveling keys, but I figured I would crank the bars first to see how that worked out. Well, that did the trick. I have mine cranked almost all the way in, which got me almost two inches of lift in the front and now its sitting just how I want it. Cranking up the torsion bars along with the new wheels and much stiffer Mickey Thompsons makes the truck ride...well...perfect, IMO. As you mentioned, the screws ride a bit soft, especially noticable in corners with the body roll. Now my truck rides stiffer, but to me it feels like it rides how it always should of.
As far as how the wheels sit in the fenders. I was STRESSING this cause they only offer the 18" Rockstars with 0 offset. I was sweating bullets up until i mounted them as to weather or not they were going to sit right. They are PERFECT...to me.
I just got my truck all cleaned up last night after it sat covered in mud for over a week. So ill go snap some shots at lunch to show you how the wheels sit on the truck.
Where in Ohio do you live by the way? I was just in O-H-I-O for the past 5 days.
