2003 Tahoe Ball Joints and Torsion Rods
 
Okay so it's a 4x4, first off. The deal is the front end is sitting low. When I first got it I threw caution to the wind and cranked up my torsion bars most of the way and it sat perfectly level front to back. I had a couple bad ball joints after a while and replaced all four front joints. Now when I slapped it all back it looks like it did when I first got it where the front is way lower than the back.

Actually I shouldn't say *I* did anything. Had a buddy do it. So yeah.. I'm wondering if when the bars came out for the work and got re-installed did it reset my t-bar lift or did something else get changed in the process? Basically I'm thinking having my t-bars adjusted still, which isn't a great idea in the first place, Plus having the truck at the normal downward angle might be a real heavy strain on my suspension. Or would it basically be back to normal now since the suspension travel would go back to normal?

I just had this work finished (and got an alignment) last night. I'm about to take a seriously long road trip (later today) and would really appreciate any input on this. I'd hate to bind my CV while out in he middle of who-knows-where.

your friend more than likely backed off the torsion bar bolts, take a look at them, also it is wise to get another alignment after lifting it up again

Welcome to the forum.

A Tahoe's normal stance is w/ a slight rake.
