Lowering T bars

[Trotorx2]

When lowering the T bars is is necessary to get the front tire completely off the ground or can you just get the weight off of the front end?
I'm going to the track tomorrow night and I have a bottle jack that will get the front most of the way up but won't get the tire off the ground. Will this be ok to try?

I have my All Seasons centerlink brace installed and want to see how much it helps.

Lowering them it will be ok but getting them raised back up with the tire on the ground is difficult.

On my truck its easier to get 90% of the weight off the truck to lower them

put the jack under the frame, not the lower control arm when you lift the front end. otherwise lifting it does you no good. get as much weight off the torsion bar as possible otherwise you run the risk of snapping the bolt off.

I know it is best to get the tire off the ground but not sure if this jack will do it.
I know to put the jack on the frame. With the tire off the ground the bolts turn easy.
I guess I will leave them alone and just see how the front end does with the brace.

I would definitely lower them down b4 launching because u can bend that brace in a hurry if u don't

You can always jack it up a little tighten them up then reset the jack a couple times to have the least amount of stress that you can get on them .

I wouldnt want any part of the tire on the ground to crank the t-bars back up. Those torsions bar bolts are a soft bolt too. They can be very fun to get out to replace too.
