Anyone know any stores that my area may have(pep boys, auto zone, o Reilly's, 4 wheels parts, advance auto parts etc.) that May have a torsion bar unloader tool for my 2002 4x4 dodge that I can rent?
Wanting to level out by cranking the keys and I also need to replace the lower control arms but I don't what to actually have to buy the toll unless necessary for 80 bucks or whatever. Thanks guys!

Buy it, use it, and return it ;) I've done that before.

Found the answer today! Me and my dad tried using a ball joint press but the actual bar, the part that pressed into the torsion keys were too thick, wouldn't fit into the notch on the key. So we took that back and rented a 7 ton gear puller, took off one of the hooks and only used the 2 to latch on to the crossmember then cranked it up until it came loose to finish it up!

For everyone else's reference a ball joint press could probably have been used but a gear puller was easier!! Rented it for 80 bucks and returnin and gettin all my money back, I'll post up my pics after leveled with new shock and bull bar hopefully tomorrow, if not it'll be Monday
