Lift or Lower your Toyota Pickup or 4Runner by adjusting the Torsion Bars

- 2 Minute Tuesday: Adjusting your torsion bars is a quick and easy way to lift or lower your Toyota Pickup or 4Runner. Toyota Pickup's and 4Runner' from 1986 - 1995 came with torsion bars. The torsion bar is the mainspring or dampener for the Toyota off road suspension. tightening the torsion bar will allow you to lift the Toyota pickup or 4Runner but it will give you a more rough ride down the road. If you loosen the torsion bar you will lower your suspension and have a softer ride.
12 complete turns of the tensioning bolt lifted my truck 1.5 inches. This allows me to turn full lock to lock and not hit the tires against the inside of the wheel well. I was very happy with this easy quick solution to rise my Toyota off road truck, Lloyd.

Since it's a Japanese truck the torsion bar bolt is metric. I'm doing it right now, it's 22mm
Just bought a 1997 2.7 toyota tacoma 4x4 last week, only had 29k on the odo.....Flawless!! I immediately put new bfg's per the old set was 20 yrs old. Timmy C Arizona
Did the same thing to my 88 Toyota- changed my torsion bars to oldman Emu torsion bars (made a big difference 👍).
Dude I'm buying a 4runner 1993 and the arms were touching the end stop damper, then I started looking and say we're the hell are the springs lol then I saw the torsion bar but doubt it was for real, thanks for the video!! Brought peace for me
Dude, as a you tube learner, I thank you heaps for teaching me how to raised my Bighorn. Now I’m looking forward to apply what you have just showed me. I subscribed too.
Thanks mate. Haven’t been able to find a decent tutorial and this was finally the one. Made it much easier.
Just broke the adjusting bolt. Now have no suspension on one side. Not sure what I did wrong, the drivers side tightened fine, lifted the truck like a half inch no issues. The passenger side snapped after a couple turns. It's a 1987 4runner.
Wow, That was easy . I always feared touching that adjustment and didn't know how. Back in 1993 a Yota guy did this an said his 91' truck ride got stiffer, so I left things alone on my 88' truck.
Watching this video from nola. My ol lady laughed when you said you was hungover.
You answered my question I needed answered to finish my lift! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the info, and good presentation as well. Good stuff. My 97 T100 is the first torsion bar suspension I've owned. And the driver side sits a bit lower than the passenger side. This should fix it I believe. Maybe raise both sides a bit while I'm at it.
i dont even have a garage where i can work on my 4runner but i love watching your vids. They're always insightful and straight to the point! Thanks for the videos, keep it up!
I did this to level out my 95 4Runner. Came out perfect to squeeze in my bfg mts in nicely.
Great vid glad u remind me I forgot all about this system and I need to lift my land cruiser 100 series new tires bigger size up thanks so much
Awesome pick up I just bought a 91..I haven't done much but cant wait to DIM. . Do it myself
Awesome tutorial hands down the most simplified and informative Keep up the good work.
Better practice is to install 1.5” ball joint spacers in the front end. It will provide additional droop travel which will provide better handling characteristics over ruts and holes in the road.
Kids are great! I'm a dad. He wants to help build a truck tooooo
I have a base 1994 Toyota pickup. I've watched general videos that explain how to remove the torsion bar, but yours explains simply to me how to adjust the height back to normal once everything is locked back into place. Thank you.
You should do a follow up showing why an alignment is essential after winding up the torsion bars.
