issues with plow

wht974x4 · 11-02-2009, 07:21 PM

if the torsion bar is cranked to much, will the added weight of a plow break something,

DOES ANYONE HAVE PICS OF THE TIRES SHOWING THE CAMBER AFTER A TORSION BAR CRANK!!!!!

Crank the Tbars no more than 1.5" (which is the recommended max) and you may not even need an alignment. (I'd get an alignment anyway just to be safe.) What I'm trying to say is that pics may not be necessary as the tires may stay in alignment.

do you see any issues with the plow

I suppose each truck would be different. But we cranked the bars on my brothers truck to level it with the plow in the air. Never had a problem.

you must have cranked them a hell of alot to do that, mine sits like maybe 2" lower with the plow in the air, also what kind of plow does he have on the truck, a poly blade or steel??

These trucks are weak for plowing. If it is just used for personal driveway use then it would survive I guess. I would not recommend using any S series truck for any type of commercial plowing use.

ive had a steel meyers plow on my truck for over a year without any issues, i think the truck plows great for being a small truck, you need to run a decent size tire, im on 31x10.50s and havent gotten stuck yet,

but it doesn't hurt to beef up the suspension
