Ranchand bumper on a 95 1/2 ton 4x4

[pipelinewelder20]

Ok, I got a great deal on a set of front and rear ranch hand bumpers. I always liked my truck to set level and it always did from the factory, but know with the weight of the front ranch hand bumper it definitely has a lean to it. I am just trying to figure out my options to get it back level. It is all stock Z71 with 265/16 tires. I was hoping just to crank the torsion bars a little. Thanks for responses in advance.

Crank the tbars a bit. Jack it up w/ jack on the frame and crank the tbars bout 3 full turns. Should get you close to stock but after 3 measure and see if you are happy.

I did 5 turns on my 95 but also have gmt800 3500 rear leafs.

Cranking the t bars to get it back to where it was before the bumper will be fine. Though you might want to upgrade to 3/4 ton torsion bars to help deal with the extra weight.
