freshly installed lift...need help desparately

[Guest bryan89]

i have a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder

i recently installed a rancho suspension lift (a-arms and coils)

i also added sway-a-way torsion bars

 

i torqued the new torsion bars to a little bit less than the stock ones because they are stiffer, but my new a-arms are resting on the bumpstops when the suspension is at rest (i.e. sitting in my driveway)

 

it was even like that after i got it aligned

please could someone with a similar setup tell me what to do to fix the problem before i get off spring break and have to drive to school? :confused: :help:

 

i was thinking that maybe my torsion bars are too tight?

is this correct and if so is there a way to draw the set bolt up into the frame without adding tension to the torsion bar?(like "un-indexing" as opposed to "reindexing")

Yeah just do the same thing as reindexing just turn the bar a few degrees in the opposite direction. But you'll probably need another alignment if you adjust more than 1/2" or so.

Mmmyep. You may have put the anchors on a bit too far forward.
