Always have the alignment checked after doing a t-bar crank. As you crank it up the tie rods get shorter and will be toed in. At a minimum you will need a toe setting done, depending on how much you crank it you might need upper camber/caster eccentrics installed and camber/caster set.
I just cranked my about 200 miles ago and got new tires, no problems. now it look like a 4x4, before I got shock and the t-bars cranked the front sat like a 2wd truck
I cranked my T-bars almost 35,000 miles ago, and haven’t had any problems since. All 20,000 miles on the current set of tire I am running have been added after cranking the T-bars. They are wearing even and have had no problems. Just be sure to lift both sides of the truck an equal amount.
