87 4runner with Pro Comp Stage 2 4" lift....adjust torsion bars?
Hi guys,
I'm pretty car savvy and can do general maintenance on my cars but am a complete newbie when it comes to suspensions. I recently had a Pro Comp 4 inch lift kit and 32" BFGs installed on my 87 4runner (done at Big O tires). Looks great, but has a really harsh ride and the front end doesn't seem to give at all when I hit the smallest of bumps. I ran into a mechanic the other day and he told me that the "bumper stops" (or something like that) had no room between them and that's why the ride was so harsh (my shocks were not being used to their potential). He said that I could dial up the torsion bars (showed me the nuts on the frame where to adjust) to increase the distance between the bumper stops and get a softer ride up front (and give the truck a couple more inches). So, as a total newb who spent way too much at Big O, here are my questions: 1) is this safe (I'm reading on this site that there is a danger of torsion bars snapping) 2) will it help the harsh ride I have now 3) if it raises the front a little, what about the back?! the 4runner was saggy on the old stock springs before I had the kit installed :-( Thanks a bunch for any advice - sorry to pollute the group with such newbish questions. |
