If you remove them,you will be sitting on your bump stops. You should be able to adjust them and get the drop you want.
1996 Explorers do not have front struts. They use torsion bars as springs that require special tools to remove and conventional shock absorbers that are easy to remove.
Instead of using coil springs on the front suspension torsion bars are used from the lower control arms to the frame ( my 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has torsion bars , my dads 73 Dodge Coronet had torsion bars ) If you look at a lower front suspension that has torsion bars you will see the torsion bars going from the lower control arms rearward
two door roadster with front-wheel drive.on the front axle housing that locks front diff.in 4x4Rear you have to change the entire hub assembly Front you have to remove the axle shaftDrives the front wheels.33" in the front and 35" in the back. I you tighten your torsion bars all the way in the front you can lift your front end 2.5 inches and fit 35's all the way around
Raising the ride height of the front suspension is best accomplished by installing adjusters to the torsion housing, or buying a torsion housing (front beam) with adjusters already installed. These adjusters and modified torsion housings (front beams) are available from numerous VW parts sources.
A 2WD Tahoe does not have torsion adjustment bolts, it uses front coil springs and not torsion bars.
33" in the front and 35" in the back. I you tighten your torsion bars all the way in the front you can lift your front end 2.5 inches and fit 35's all the way around.
My 1993 Hiace has a Torsion Bar Suspension on the front. The tension retainer is halfway down the vehicle. Jack the vehicle up - remove the wheel, then undo the locking nut on the end of the torsion bar, ( mark with a dot of paint so that you tighten the bar to the correct vehicle height on reassembly) Once you have released the tension its a doddle to remove!!
Good info about raising front end by adjusting torsion bars.www.duramaxforum.com/forum/04-5-05-lly-performance-parts-discussion/4491-torsion-bar-adjustment.html
The 1st generation Nissan Pathfinder, 1987 - 1995 had a torsion bar suspension on the front end of the vehicle. There is a driver's side and passenger's side torsion bar and they are not interchangeable. 1996 - 2009 models do not use a torsion bar.
The torsion bars are adjustable.
When you crank on the torsion bars you are changing their spring tension.
YES it does.
