Here's the expectation: EVERY truck is gonna be nose low when carrying a snow plow. You cant have it any other way.
Cranking the torsion bars will affect caster mainly. Caster does not affect tire wear. Yes, too is affected, depending on how much drop you encounter.
So how heavy is your plow, and how much of the winter do you have the plow on?
If you put on 3k miles all winter long, and 200 with the plow on, then set to factory spec.
If you put on 3k miles all winter long, and 2000 with the plow on, then set it to the positive (toe-in) end of the spec.
Here's my experience: 3/4 ton bars on my Yukon Denali. Western Unimount is already on, and will be till March. I cranked the bars, I leave them cranked. Caster is set as high as I can.
Camber is factory spec.
Lastly, I'm toed-out from spec (should be .24, I'm at .10)
Tires seem to wear well and that's what means most to me.
Ride height absolutely affects toe, I know you've heard of bump steer.
