how to get more lift?

BAMA BOY · Jan 8, 2011

is there anyway i can get another 2 inches out of my truck being that i have torsion bars, i know i can out a block in the rear but what would i do for the front?

Being your already cranked you could get keys and crank it more but thats alot of pressure. When I put Skyjacker keys on mine and turned them 10 turns a peice I had 4inches of total front lift so I had to back em out.

I cranked mine four inches already just to level it out

Holy CRAP! The front end of the 3rd gens only sit 2½" lower then the back, if you crank the torsion bars 4 to 5 times you will get that 2½" back to level it out. Don't know what is going on if you raised it 4".

If you want to go higher, you can either put 35's on it which will give you another 2" from the factory 31's (unless your truck came with 20's, then it would be 33" tires and will only give you 1") or you can get a 2 or 3" body lift.

Other then that, the only thing you can do is a suspension lift.

Your cheapest option is a 3" body lift.

Damn 4inchs off the stock bars and its level? At 2 mine was nose up...

id be ok with a body lift but i would need brackets for the brush guard

ramhunter9 · Jan 10, 2011

yes but you can fab them up pretty easy .

Some of the body lifts have brackets to bring everything back to where it was before, just allows for the difference in height.

Mine is from Performance Accessories and it pretty much had everything there. My front light bar mounted right back up to where it was before the body lift.

Bad Habit · Jan 14, 2011

Whilst y'all want to get your extra inches, I'd rather go a lower for better handling and performance...Room maybe extra room in the garage...

Bigtman07 · Jan 14, 2011

Hey Jay can ya pass some of the inches you're taking away and give those to Bama??? He needs a few more. lol and for those that want to shed some inches around the waist. Pass those inches to shiloh... He could use them. lol
