Cranking torsion bars?

[Tonka444]

Ok Im asking this because I just bought these tires and I know how fast they can start to go if your out of alignment. First off I did this simply to tighten up the front end. After cranked on my torsion bars and gained one inch in height! My Question is in the inch gained is it necessary to have it align? And I know when in doubt have the alignment done... But If this the case I will put it back! Thanks for the help

It depends on how much you crank them - I had a LOT of height difference front to back even with stock leaves in back (4-5") and ended up needing camber bolts just to get a proper alignment. It depends on what you're going for, but I've always gotten alignment once a year anyways. How fast the tires wear depends on the tires quite a bit. I had the OEM "Goodyear Wrangler Radials" and chewed through them like pencil erasers, whereas my Uniroyal Liberators have lasted about 4 years even with a T-Bar crank a couple years ago.
