2000 silverado 2500
i have a 2000 2500 4x4. I am about to put on a ranch hand front end replacement. I am wondering if anyone has cranked their torsion bars at all. I know that it will affect the ride somewhat. I am only thinking of 4 to 5 turns max. i would also like to put on 285's instead of the 265's i have now.
FYI, i have read numerous reports of problems people are having with their 6.0 engine. I have 21000mi on my truck.....no ticking at all. I do have knocking when i use the cheap gas. Change in gas and no problems.
Gracias

I turned my bars up 4-5 turns and got just over an inch or height. I took it in afterwards and had it aligned, it was in spec - barely. The toe-in was a little off, but I doubt the torsion bar had any effect on that.

thanks for the info. What size tires are you running? Will a 285 fit on that truck?

although it has been done with some sidewall buldge I would guess?
255/85/16's are taller and a little skinnier

285's are too wide for the stock rims. If you are changing to a wider rim you may be OK. A 285/75-16 is rated for a 7.5"-9" rim.
A 255/85-16 is the same height, but rated for a 6.5" rim. Using the stock wheel offset and the 255 tire will eliminate tire rubbing.
