Default Re: What's the advantage of using truxxx keys instead of adjusting the torsion bars?

I put the 37x13.5 inch tires on my H2 and the original place who installed these tires said to simply tweak the torsion bars and I should be OK with out an alignmnet. Well 5k miles I had about 50% wear on the outside of the tires on the front tires, took back to the place and they said this is normal.
Took to a offroad specialist and they said I definitiely need an alignment and suggested I switch out the front shocks with some Bilstein shocks with 1 inch more play. Havent fully tested out the shocks yet, but seems to be more sway than stock.. Anyways defintiely get an alignment!
