So today i cramked up my t-bars and almost maxed them out. The ride is stiffer but my 04 1500 looks so good with the front end level. My questions are what are the long term effects of cranking t-bars and how soon could i see those effects, and do cranking the t-bars put as much pressure on front end as spacer leveling kits do? Also im looking into getting skyjacker shocks and would love some reviews from anyone who knows about them. Hopefully thoes will help to smooth out my ride!

Ball joint will start going fairly soon... Tie rod ends and normal wear and tear will speed up really fast, I'd crank them down just from personal experience... Oh and cv axle angles are prob though the roof.... Those will also go pretty soon

Just buy torsion keys, not that expensive and alot better on the suspension

I disagree. It pretty much does the same thing and wanphat he is trying to accomplish will have the same effects with aftermarket keys or stock keys... Just watch your angles and I would try to stay under going up 2.5 inches...

Did you see how much you went up( before and after measurements)

Aftermarket keys take stress off the bar itself and components related to it. Unlike cranking the stocks

Torsion keys lift the same way it's just putting a shim in basically
It won't make any difference

Will torsion keys take any of the stress off my CVs or balll joints?
