    Just wondering if anyone has seen or made a thread that has pics on exactly how to loosen the torsion bars to drop the front. Also, does anyone know how much doing that affects the camber and ride quality?

    Its easy. Raise up the truck. Put it on jackstands. Fnd he torsion bar adjusment bolt on the tranny x-member. Loosen the jam nut. Then loosen the other nut. Loosen til u like the height.

    Lowering without drop spindles will affect camber. Just depends how much u lower it.
