    I'm putting new torque rods in my KW t800 the torque rods I got from dealership that ordered from automann. Are about an inch to short they originals are pulled out..I can persuade them to fit by Jacky and lolowerin both rear ends after installing airbags sit at a slight angle. Just looking for advice.. can I run truck like this until I get right size torque arms ? or should I pull them off and not run truck?But you might have said it be okay ????

    I would not run it like that, if you think you have to for some reason, make some spacers to bolt where they meet the frame bracket to get the length.
