On a 1997 f-150 4x4 how easily shoul it be to spin the front tires by hand when the front end is lifted up? (Just as easy as the rear when lifted and in nuetral?) I cant seem to get much more than one rotation with a fair amount of force.... whats up witht that?

cv angles, the half shafts are bound up at fool droop

wouldnt this mean that everyone that levels thier truck would encounter this problem? Can u drop the diff down at all to lessen the angle?

Schertz7

not without dropping the mounting points of the lower control arms and removing the rear crossmember. this is why lift kits are made, to eliviate this problem

got ya. so leveling with the torsion bars is not as good as goin and lifting the whole thing up with a kit.

wrenchin the torsion bars is a cheap way to bring up the front, thats it. great, if your not worried about replacing front end parts haha
