Torsion bars and lower control arm set-up
Why yes, yes I do...
It's straight out of the service manual. I combined a couple of pages so all the relevant info was in the same shot. That said, I would NEVER run the factory alignment specs with radial tires, they're for bias ply's. And yes, the ride height specs are completely irrelevant if you have upgraded your torsion bars. The wheel rate on a set of 1.03" torsion bars is roughly double the factory torsion bars even if you had V8 bars to begin with. So, you'll have about half as much suspension travel as the stock bars, which means you don't need to use the factory ride height specs to stay off the bumpstops.
Alignment numbers for radial tires should come from this chart. The caster specs are on the conservative side, you can run more positive camber if you can get it.
