The volare frame has been in the truck? You just lowered the torsion bars,and now it pulls but did'nt before? Assuming yes to these que.'s your gonna have to take it to a shop.That front end is similar to the full size ford cars (upper control slides for camber/caster asjustment) as you lower a dodge the caster shouldn't change that much but the camber goes WAY positive.Too much pos. camber (as will too much negative) can cause a pull.Just make sure who ever does it tightens the upper control arms "GOOD-N-Tight",there are "ridges" on top of the frame and on the control arm that are supposed to hold everything in place.But after time they disappear and the control arms have a tendency to slide.
