Hi guys,

I'm buying a '98 Hilux which has been raised by winding up the torsion bars.

Can this cause any damage to the vehicle? And what should I be aware of when looking after the truck and it's suspension?

Thanks,

Winding up the torsion bar will just give you less down travel and have your cv at steeper angles resulting in increase chance of failure under loads.

Thanks. I had a look underneath and couldn't quite see which bits have been wound up. I'll have a look over the weekend when it's lighter!

It's just a large bolt each side down near the transfer case.
