Could it be because of bad shocks in front?

I have 245/70r16 on it. One of my torsion bar bolts are bent so I can't crank them.

It's bent really bad we tried power tools and everything the only way to get it out would be to torch it out.

honestly I'd try that. If you can get it out it would be worth it to crank the t bars. I love my truck when it sits level compared to look you have now

I love the look of it. But if it's bent couldn't that mean the guy before me bottomed out and pushed stuff back and bent it?

It's possible but in reality there is so much stress on those bolts that he could have been tightening them and wasn't level as he was turning. Happened to me when I started tightening my really hard. If you don't stay level while turning the bolts it has a high chance of bending

I'd say they are sagging a bit but even still had he bottomed out it wouldn't sit that low it would be way higher than mine had he bottomed out lol I'm thinking of maxing mine out sometime this week
