Hi Guys

Couple years ago I replaced my control arms on my 95 explorer with new ball joints. I had ir re-aligned. With sitting on a level spot my front end is higher than the back end. I had to remove the Torsion Bars. I counted the turns and i thought i turnef them back to tge right number. Is there any way to make the front end level with the back end again? I probably have to get it aligned.

Thank you
 






Changing the height using torsion bars will affect your camber, although personally i've adjusted my ride height after an alignment with no affects on tire wear, yet. It's been about 7,000 miles.

You can try lowering the front down some, or you may have sagging leaf springs in the rear. You can raise up the rear using Monroe load-adjusting shocks, they have a built in helper coil spring that increases rear ride height about 1.5 inches or so. I've had great luck with them and so have some other members. Post a pic so we can see how high the rear is riding.
