Is there a way to tell how much the torsion bars were turned ?

[cowboy701]

Hi all, this 02 ranger 4x4 was lifted by PO ,and I am thinking it was by the Torsion bars in front, and a 2 3/4" block ,above the axle and beneath the spring pack in the rear. the highest arc of the rear fender measures 36 7/8" in the rear and 36 1/2" in the front, don't know if that helps, just thought I would throw that in. of course it rides hard, but firm, thats OK by me, but just hope I am not hurting any thing. The cv's seem pretty straight. I have 285/75/16 tire but this truck came with 245/75/16 stock only about 2" difference and I have 410 axle ratio. what do you guys think ?? thanks Chuck

Hey, I just read another thread with a picture of the 2 3/4" block on the rear axle that I thought was a lift block is actually stock, so don't know how the rear was lifted ??? shows you how much I know !!

The rear sounds about right and the front sounds like it was cranked 2" My truck with no crank is sitting at 35 1/2" with a 1" body lift.

Measure how far the fender is from the tire, then jack up the truck by the frame. Measure how much it is then. The stock down travel was about 3 inches, if u have less than that its most likely torsion cranked
