As some of you have read I road tripped across the country to move. I have some things to work on and have started a few.

Along the way I hit a small animal that was already dead, after this at low speeds I feel like maybe the tire has a bubble or something. I've checked and checked and can find out why I'm getting a lobing feeling in the front end. I looked again today and noticed I'm riding on the bump stop on the passenger side but about an inch above it on the drivers side. I have yet to even lower her. Could there be something broken that could cause both of these problems?

 

Crawl under there and check the torsion bars

 

You haven't dropped it yet and you're already hitting the bump stop on one side. On stock height you have a big gap between the bump stops. Is it visibly lower on that side? Maybe tortion ran or got bent.

 

Im up about and inch on the driver side and touching on the passenger side. I did notice a slight lean but figured that the fuel tank was on that side so it might be that... Let me get some pictures...

PASSENGER SIDE:



Yah yah yah its dirty, but let's get to brass tacks.
I'm not sure if the persone before my uncle had it lowered and never put it back up but I haven't touched the front suspension other than new front shocks like a month ago..

 

Go under and look at your tortion jam nuts and the amount of thread you have on each side.

 

The threads left are about 3-4 inches I'll snap some pics and post em up...

I'm assuming that's the correct adjuster bolt, never really delt with torsions other than the race car and we deleted them and went coil overs anyways...

 

You look to be even on your thread length from the pictures of the torsion bolts has any body ever taken the bars apart the ends come of the bars and can be reset at a different angle if you don't mark we're lower control arm peace was in the first place it will be outta wack theses bars support the truck up front as I'm sure u no I would loosen the pass side jam nuts and crank it up a bit see if that levels you out I don't see it being anything else doubt a blown shock will do that

 

Will not readjusting it ruin anything or can i say screw it cause I'm going to lay it out anyways...

 

Naa it won't mess anything up if the noise /feeling u were describing doesn't bother ya to much then yea roll with it until u bag it but if u wanna even it out just loosen that top nut hold the nut under it with a wrench throw a ratchet on the bolt that the long threaded one < and tighten it up about 10 to 15 turns should get u off the bump stop maybe tad more cinch down the top nut and done

 

Starting to think that feeling of lobing is the bump stop hitting the lower control arm. Might just get some blocks and lower it even more. how much can I cut the bump stops down?

 

I took my bump stops out but I also have toxic shocks which are sized for the drop. If you take out your bump stops or shave them your shock might just bottom out giving you the same feeling. I would just adjust the tortion till the front end levels out and keeps it of the bump stop.

 

Been thinking of picking up some drop shocks. I just replaced my shocks like a month ago.

Maybe pick up some blocks this weekend and see where it puts me on height in the rear, maybe cut the bump stops and a ball joint flip... Have to check the fishing schedule first... them bass don't catch them selves!!!

 

I shaved the "mountain" off the bumpstops up front... but yours... you hit something and it's bottomed out on the passenger side, I'd fix that first. have you jacked up the truck on the passenger side yet?

 

I haven't jacked it up yet, I'm not in my own house yet out here and all my stuff is in storage. Going to see if I can barrow a jack this weekend to lift it up..
