Roger, mine doesn't even have torsions and mine don't rub at all. Could one of the bars be bent? Me and my bro need that thing fixed asap! Can you guys think of anything else it could possibly be!?

could it be that the tension is gone in the torsion bar when the bolt broke and if so how can i fix it im going to try and get a friend from The Slam Shack here locally come down this weekend and look at it for me

mine only rubbed like that when i was aired almost all the way out... you have a problem dude... did u check your front strut rod mount? maybe it's backed out or the mount is broken??? hard to say with not being able to crawl around your truck and look... i'm fairly sure it doesn't have to do with your torsion bar being loose... and no bumpstops. even cranked that low it shouldn't bind up. the shock is another thing u can cross off your list of potential problems. is your strut rod bent?
u say you Driver side is higher than the pass side and its the driver side that is binding up right?

yep im going to get my boy JDubb from The Slam Shack to come over in the morning and look at it i hope we can fix it morrow cause then the only thing left to be able to drive it every day is a new clutch cause the damn throw out bearing rattles so im going to call this truck project "Rattles" lol

thread post photo

is going to get replaced and if that dont fix it im putting the factory shocks back in and if that dont fix it we will probable take the truck to the shop and heat the bar to get it to bend the right way. they said that they have never seen one bind like that before and they have done alot of dawgs so i will keep u guys posted on the progress hopefully this will fix it if not she will sit till i can get the front bagged

That is the strut bar.

Look your existing one over, you may just need to replace the bushings to fix it!
