Torsion Bar Crank Wear

MastuhWaffles · Jul 25, 2014

As you know cranking your T-Bars causes extra wear. Well yesterday my left front shock bushing disseminated leaving nothing holding it into place. So I had to get some new ones today after limping it home. I picked up some ranchero rs5000, they are actually 2 inches taller to support the t bar crank, so these should hold up pretty well. But make sure if you are cranked up, check the bushings and replace them if they are worn.

Poly bushings would be a good alternative.

Other uses include the act of distributing things, such as the dissemination of information, funds, or resources.

Anyway, I wonder where a lot of people on here learn words. It's pretty sad that someone can get into college but still be able to use disseminate where he means disintegrate.

I hate the public school system.

Just saw where a fellow graduated from S. Cal w/ a degree in "Cumminications". At least that is what his diploma read.

Wow I guess I was tired. But were just going to roll with it because reasons.

Something I have been considering in regards to having to use taller shock absorbers. My truck came w/ a higher stance than some 2WD's of the same year. Sits taller. When I went to buy shocks, a few yrs back, I wasn't given any option for that. I know that the taller stance was some sort of option. I can't recall the name of it. Was there a different shock used for this option. 2000 XLT 3.0

High Boy, I don't really like my torsion bar suspension. It makes things difficult.

Are you saying that the option I have is called High Boy? I tried researching a little and came up w/ The Trailhead Group. Seems it was available to 2WD's w/ 15" wheels giving the look of a 4WD without the expense of a 4WD. Not a big deal to me, just a curiosity.

I think He's GONE! You coming back MastuhWaffles? "Consequences".

Yeah, well I think it's called high boy. It was a trim package I think in the older rangers and continued into the later models but I'm not really sure they called it high boy anymore.
