there is nothing wrong about lifting a truck by its T bar its not recomended , but its not a life threatening i had my X hanging on the lift by a t-bar on one side , and there is no long term damage ( over 6 month ) we did put couple rugs there, just so the lift would not scratch t-bars ( but with offroading, they are scratched anyway )

I disagree, the torsion bar should not be allowed to bear anywhere near that kind of load.

Probably the same rice-boy outfit that's tweaking his computer...

I don't ban people for disagreeing with them, I only ban people who are posting completely false, or unsafe information on this board. Jacking up any vehicle by a torsion bar is fucking stupid. If you want to say it is safe, and risk your life, fine, just don't do it here. A torsion bar is a straight coil spring. Deflecting it to the side by using it as a jack point is not something it is designed to handle. Your mechanic is a fucking moron, don't listen to him. If I banned you, no one would miss you, trust me.

Originally posted by Olegkha: English IS my second language, and i am still learning it Well, until you have learned it, could you please at least use a spell checker. My head hurts trying to decipher your posts. Ian: interesting how, when some one post something that you dont agree with , or something offending to you , how easy you ban people C'mon now, seriously. It's obvious Ian has his issues, but I can't see how you could claim this to be one of them. I think it's unbelievably hard to get banned from this board. Certainly compared to most formal internet discussion boards, this one is by far the hardest to get banned from... and God knows I've tried.

No, of course I don't know if you used the same shop in this case, I was just poking fun at rice-boy shops and implying that lifting by the torsion bar would be just the sort of stupid thing they would do (especially since they never encounter torsion bars on rice-boy cars).
