If the Torsion bar on the same side has not been raised but the other one has then that will make a difference.

As you put more load on the front torsion bar it releives some of the load at the rear. Therefore, as you raise the front the rear has less weight to carry and rises slightly.

that is the situation at the moment so we will see when the bars are level...

Yup, don't forget the anchor point for the t/bars is in the middle of the truck, so the truck kind of 'balences' on the torsion bars when they are under load, jacking the front WILL lift the rear slightly.

Right, springs and all the trimings finished, torsion bars cranked up an extra 1 1/4 "" . Tried and tested and seems ok, although i can now feel how diffrent the front dampers are to the new rear ones they have no life left in them!! ( more coin)

There is now aprox a 15 mm diffrence in height from top of rim to start of the arch.

heres some piccys.........
