torsion

I recently installed lift keys on my X and gained about 3” of lift. The stock length RS9000’s feel like they’re over extended. I see that Cherokee shocks use the same mount types as the Explorer with a stem top mount and a bar pin bottom mount. Has anyone used Cherokee shocks on their Explorer...

:confused2: I noticed that one side of my truck is sitting higher than the other when I went to install front sway bar links. Do I have to re-seat the bracket that the torsion bolt goes through? I know it definitely shouldn’t be crooked.

I’ve always noticed that the front of my Explorer is lower on the driver’s side. I made sure my tires had equal pressure and measured at the center of the wheel well. Sure enough the driver’s side is about 1” lower than the passenger side. I crawled under the truck and the passenger side...

From my understanding, based off of posts on this site torsion bars can both lower and heighten your ride by about 2" safely. Now I have seen some posts say all you need is a wrench/socket wrench while others mention specific tools like Arm-08. My questions are as follows: 1. Do torsion bars...

So I have a 2001 explorer and it has a bit of a vibration when i am travelling at highway speeds. Recently I decided to crank my torsion bars up and the vibration was noticeably worse. My mechanic says its because of a bent rim but i beg to differ. I feel like its my front driveshaft. Anyone...

Maybe one of you can help. I did the torsion twist on my rig and the CV joint angles seem extreme. The specs seem correct. Factory ~ 4" add 2" of lift and with 5 - 3/4" I'm within the my 6" window. Thoughts...

1997 Explorer E.B. V8 AWD, I'm lifting my rig with a TT and WAR 153s. I'd like to smooth out the ride, any recommendations on shocks? I'll be putting larger tires on my rig, for medium off road usage. Besides the spedo change out, what other concerns should I have in going with bigger tires...

Hey! I'm new here! Just bought a 1999 Explorer Limited, 5.0, All time AWD. Put the rear axle UNDER the leafs, now I need to get 5" out of the front to level. Suspension lifts only. I have torsion bars (maxed out I got 2"), do I delete and put coils in? Best place to get uh, double jointed...

So I just finished putting the Warrior 153's on the back of my 1999 Mountaineer and it looks great but now the back sits higher than the front and I want to level it by using the Torsion Twist. I've soaked the bolts in PB an Deep Creep penetration lube and yanked on them with a breaker bar and...

Hey guys I bought my wife a minivan so now her stock '99 4 wheel drive explorer is my "daddy ride". So I bought a set of 20s for it and I like the way they look but I hate the fender gap. I know I know it's 4 wheel drive and it's a sin to lower it but I think it would look so much better...

After my BL and Shackles were put on, there was a pretty noticeable rake to my truck. Measurements for both sides are as follows: Front fender to tire 7.5 / to ground 39.5 Rear fender to tire 9.5 / to ground 41.5 So there is exactly a 2" difference. I actually kind of like it, but the...

I was considering doing the torsion twist on my 97 XLT (2WD) in the front (2 inches) and not putting shackles in the back. Does this look bad? Does anybody have any pictures with this done? Any feedback is appreciated. :dunno:

I have a '99 explorer sport 4x4 and looking to lift at least 3". I heard that i could lift the front with a torsion twist 2" and leaf spring, and then the back with a suspension lift kit. Is this true? Also what exactly do i have to do for a torsion twist, just adjust the bolt? ps - the...

okayy so im new to this.... i got a 99 explorer... 2wd, standard tranny. i cant find any suspension parts for it.... someone help!

I want to do the TT and warrior shackels lift to my explorer (2000 xlt) and I know it would be easier to get 31's, but I wanted to get 32's. So would there be any rubbing or cutting needed if i got 32's?

is there any down side to doing a torsion twist to my 05 advance trac explorer 4x4?

My explorer is saggy and needs a little makeover. I've seen a lot of info about torsion bar twist lifts, but the problem I have is that my torsion bars are pretty shot. My driver side bar is maxed out and the car still sags on the driver side about an inch lower then the passenger side. What...

Just looking at them, you can't really tell which is which.

You have to use the gear puller to force the adjuster up hight enough to put the support nut back in.

A closer look at the difference between the right and left torsion bars. The longer one goes on the passenger (right hand) side

This is a comparison of my '01 Sport lowered VS a stock '01 Sport.
