govols74n Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) Just wondering....I tried to crank my t-bars this morning and it's like they are maxed out already, but theres still tons of room before the bumpstops "top out"....now as I was turning the damn adjuster bolt stripped "rounded off"....so I guess im needing new t-bars correct? If so are there any step by steps out there to accomplish this easier? I searched and nothing really covered this....also, what would an approximate cost for having new T-bars installed be?......any help would be greatly appreciated since you guys seem to know the answers to everything that I have questions about. Thanx. Edited February 25, 2006 by govols74n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Get new t-bar adjusting bolts and nuts and then reindex your torsion bars. They may still have some life left in them. EDIT: why do you keep attaching unrelated images to every single one of your posts? :confused: Edited February 13, 2006 by Filthy Luker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treywurst Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Did you jack up the front of the truck first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 yeah I was hoping that I could just get new adjuster bolts, I'm gonna get new ones and then give it a whack from there. thanks guys, and yes I jacked it up....supposed to right? Alot of pressure if not I guess, I think the bolts had too much rust on them thats all...at least I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) i think u could grab some from a junkyard...or possibly the stealership...i actually just cranked mine today but it wasnt really a crank per say when i pulled them off for the motor swap i marked them and rotated back 1 spline (2 was way too much) i forgot earlier what it was but i think most people refer to that as reindexing them and then cranked them up so they were in the crossmember and it set the front of my truck back level...i think its easier to adjust the front splines than the 1's that go in the cross member if u'd like depending on what year u're truck is i could snag some bolts from the junkyard here and ship'em out but it'd prob be the weekend B4 i had time to do it b/c my truck is still dead and im so busy between work and school during the week but if thats a thought just shoot me a PM Edited February 13, 2006 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Sounds like a deal, but let me check my local jy first, I'll let you know, thanks. I don't think the bolts will be hard to find but you never know. Edited February 25, 2006 by govols74n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Just got new t-bar adjuster bolts, finally because of the rounded off ones that I could no longer adjust.....my uca's are in the mail....jgc springs painted, waiting patiently in my garage...hopefully within the next week I will have a wee bit of lift on the pathy....we will see.
