I was lookin under the truck, and noticed that where the torsion bar under my driver seat ends, the mount looks all bent. I have done 2" TT up front, but it looks like I got caught up on something.

You can see where the bolt has slid from its original position. I am going to get an alignment in a couple days, do you think they can just whack it back in place and retighten? or something more severe? I am getting new balls joints and shocks put on as well. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Todd.
 






That is just the skid plate, loosen the bolts and try bending it back into place. Shouldn't be anything to worry about unless the adjuster underneath is wacked which if I remember correctly it's a few inches from that skid plate so it should be fine.
 






if you just want a newer skids i have a pair off a 03 ranger and all you have to do is pay shipping :biggthump:
