    Hey guys. Was wondering if cranking down the torsions would mess the alignment up? Any comments will help!

    it ALWAYS a good idea to have checked at an alignment shop after messing with any thing that has to do suspension

    when i dropped my torsions my steering wheel was off center but my alignment was still fine. It drives straight but i agree with flatblack that you should always get an alignment done after fooling with suspension.

    It will always change the camber. There is a very short distance of wheel travel where the camber does not change much and it is located around stock ride height. Other than that, if you deviate from stock much, you must re-align for camber.

    It will also cause a very slight toe-in depending how far you go.
