Is it better to leave the truck on the ground sitting on its tires or block it up on jackstands when I go to replace the torsion bars? I've seen/heard it described both ways.
Thoughts? |

Block the front crossmember high enough to allow the suspension to fully droop. Front tires off the ground. Doing this relaxes most of the torque in the torsion bars. If you didn't support the front, you would be crushed because the torsion bars are what holds the front end up.

 I have only heard of people putting them on a lift/jackstands with the tires off the ground. I reindexed mine on my 720 w/ the tires off the ground.90 pathfinder w/31's sold the 720 |

D'Oh! That's the conclusion I was coming to looking at it myself. Thanks for making it real clear  |

The most important thing is ensuring that the new ones are splined all the way into the anchors on both ends. Get both anchors on there and tap the back one with a hammer to ensure they seat in there all the way.

They're both seated now. The driver's side was questionable until I had to pull one out to put a replacement cross member in to get the monster skid plate on. I think Marshall enjoyed smacking that sucker back into place. I got armor now.
