Rough Ride- Torsion untwist

[Ranger482]

Hi guys,

I have a 98 explorer, and i am experiencing a really, really, rough ride. I have intsalled new shocks, etc. Still not a lot better, the thing just feels "stiff".. MY question is i was wondering if the torsion abr bolts can be backed out a little to make the front end softer and if i do so will it screw up my alignment? Any advice?

Thanks

if you back the bolts out it will lower it and soften the ride, and you will need to get it aligned after you are done.

It will change your alignment and soften your ride. I suggest you adjust the bolts to your liking, drive it a few days to ensure that is where you want it, then get an alignment. I wouldn't drive long or far though.
