I've been having a problem keeping the nose down on my truck during pulls even with 800-900 off the nose it just lifts. My buddy who i pull with has a similar truck but its a CC his nose stays down. We were talking how maybe me having heavier torsion bars with the load still being on them even with the bolts out. I have snow plow prep and his crew cab doesn't. the other thing we were talking about is my traction bars i run cognito bars that sit almost level and mount to the bottom of the frame unlike his that was on an angle and mount on the side of the frame i'm just sracthin my head here on what to do.

Front torsion bars are a big part of it. My old regular cab with a plow prep package would not even drop the front at all with the T-bar bolts out. How close to the factory bumpstops is it with the bars down all the way? How bad does it squish the stops? Pictures would help.

Hitch setup also would help some.
