Subject: adjusting torsion bars on 92 2WD Dakota?

Message:
my dad just bought a new 03 dakota and gave me his old one. the front end is sagging a little and i wanted to even it back out by adjusting the torsion bars but i wasnt sure how to go about doing it. it's a 92 2wd v6. will adjusting the torsion bars cause the tires to wear faster by changing the camber of the wheels or will it stay the same? thanks for the help

Dude, I don't want to sound like a Smart Azz, but use the search funtion. This is a broad topic.

First off, your gonna have a pretty hard time finding those T-bars, cause there not there. You don't have them, you have got coil springs.

You gotta couple of choices, Go to auto zone and buy a set of coil donuts. They'll set you back to stock hiegth. Another (cheaper) way to go about fixing this is to go to the junk yard or pull apart, and get some front coils off of any 87-96 dodge dakota or any 94-99? Dodge Ram. That is the cheaper way, plus you will be back at stock ride hieght and have the stock suspension travel(because adding the donuts will reduce the amount of travel be cause the springs are already compressed about 3 inches.) I bought the springs off of a 96 Ram for my 93 Dak. They fit, and also raised it about 3/4". Price for the coils $4.99 a piece.
