Torsion Bar Adjusment

[JParrott]

I've got the Haynes manual for my 2000 Blazer 4dr LS 4WD w/75,000 miles and was looking for the adjustments for the torsion bars. My Blazer has a somewhat noticeable lean on the drivers side and I'm hoping this'll correct it. The ride has also went to crap over the last 6-8 months and I really don't believe the shocks (bilsteins) have worn out yet. The rear springs are fine but she seems to lean more and have alot more slop over rougher roads. I haven't ever messed with torsion bars but I've heard alot of guys cranking them down to get s small "lift" out of it, though you run the risk of to much and possibly breaking them. The manual says no more than 1/4" of space between the bar and the rear plate.

1st: Has anyone else had this problem or know of someone who has.

2nd: Does anyone have better specs for adjustment (i.e. actual height of the suspension/body/frame?)

If there's any precautions I should know about, please fill me in.
I've done a search of the forums but didn't find anything posted yet.

Ok, here is some things to look into.

1.) Look at the torsion bar cross member mounts and see if they have gone bad.

2.) Have you taken a look at your stabilizer bar end links and sway bar bushings yet?

i want to lower the front end of my blazer. i've heard that adjusting the torsion bars will lower it. what are the steps to do that?

Best to get the proper belltech key kit instead of hacking to drop the truck.

Look online.
