Don't feel uncomfortable with adjusting the T-bars. Many of the S-10's are incorrectly adjusted as delivered(z height too low). Park on a level surface load as you would normally drive it. In my case I am usually the only one in it, so 190 lbs in the drivers seat. Then measure the fender heights. I set mine as close to level as possible. A little rake is acceptable (lower in the front)Oh BTW I am thinking of geting some 31 " Geolanders soon have you had any problems with them rubbing with just a 2 " lift? I dont feel to comfortable with a T-bar crank. Also if I get larger tires should I get the alignment checked?
I had to crank the pass. side (RH) adjuster quite a bit , since the RH side was an inch lower.
Both of my adjusters are approx. 5/16" - 3/8" of threads left showing between the bolt head and the block it threads into.
It is best to jack up the vehicle and relieve as much tension as possible when adjusting the t-bars , lower it , roll it back and forth , then check ride height.
Definately have the alignment checked, some places won't charge for the check , only if they have to adjust it. If you "crank" the bars you WILL need an alignment.
The change in tire size will not require an alignment, but you will need to recalibrate the speedometer (I used my HPPIII).
I do believe that with the stock wheels and just a little "crank" of the T-bars you will not rub running the Geolandar M/T's. The closest mine comes to rubbing is at full lock I have about 5/8" clearance on the frame (inside rear) The tires clear the fenders fine, and with the Bushwacker flares that I'm running I would be sure to have problems if anyone would. The flares mount inside the stock fender lip.
