 | Just turn the bolt under the key in a bit. You will need a front end alignment afterwards

| yeah ****in with the suspension like that I dont really like (along with spring drops and control arm drops aswell) is that u can only counteract so much with ur camber angles and what not. They just started making parts for like 88s-98s to fix what ppl have ****ed up with spring and control arm drops..as well as lifts. But good luck

| You will lose some suspension travel and ride quality. Front end alignment will be needed too, as mentioned above. Are you rubbing metal or the air dam? If it's the air dam, I'd trim it. |

| If tis rubbing , adjusting the torsion abrs wont help. It rubs in turns and the very little bit of lift it will give you wont be enough. You can trim the bumper corner and the fender rear corner , or just get a suspension lift and get soem real travel
