torsion bars and the 2nd gen sag

Dec 17, 2003 1 Replies

I've got a 95 4Runner that I've had for over a year. I had intended on lifting it, but haven't had the money and as a result I've still got a case of the infamous 2nd gen sagging rear end. I've seen that some people have cranked their torsion bars up as a means of lifting their toyota trucks, and I'm curious about if I could maybe drop them down in the front to level out my 4Runner. Will this work?



I know that if I do this it will probably require an alignment afterwards, but are there any other downsides? I know that raising the torsion bars results in stiffer handling, will cranking them down loosen it up?



Bottom line... good idea or bad idea?

Can be done to lower or raise. You will lose up-travel if its lowered too much, may need to use some low profile bumpstops if it bottoms out a lot:
