Allignment?

I had to take my torsion bar keys and brace out to change my transfercase adapter because it cracked open. I put it all back in and did a test drive, now my front tire on the passenger side looks like its trying to pull off the rim. Is that something to do with an allignment or something else? When I saw this the wheel was turned sharp so maybe its something normal I never saw before, but does anyone know before I spend $100 for an allignment? Thanks

you cant look at alignment with the wheels cranked sharp... the torsion bars are basically springs, not part of the alignement. you just crank them to get the springs harder and it lifts the truck up and down a cople inches. you can change the angle of the tire up and down, but it does not effect the toe in or toe out. you need to set the springs about back where they were. normally 4-5 threads showing on the bolt.
