"Keep the mean sayings to urself
Please keep the mean hurtful sayings to your self. We all know im a tool where have you been? There is no need to address it in someones thread.

If you post just one more mean saying to me that hurts my feelings i will not ever post here again. Im very sensitive and do not deserve to be treated like this."

That's why below every set of pictures it says to search for it, or they could pm the owner if they wanna know more. I added what I could find without extensive searching.

This is a great write up with lots of great information!

I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I know a bit. I've been readin around a bit, and I came across someone saying that for 4x4 trucks, you can crank the torsion bars WITHOUT any aftermarket kits? But with 2wd, you DO need a kit? I'm getting that with the stock 4x4, you can use the stock torsion bars andand keys to crank them 1"-2.5"? No aftermarket parts?

Whether or not I need an aftermarket kit for my 4x4, is there a write up on how to crank the torsion bars? I haven't been able to find one.

Dont buy the keys or any "aftermarket kit" for 4x4....just crank the stock ones to 1.5 inches...2 inches MAXXX....probably no write up on it cuz its so simple and easy.....lift up front end of truck...equally turn both key bolts at end of torsion bars...lower truck back down...check and adjust as necessary...and then to the alignment shop...done

Okay that doesn't seem too bad, so cranking the torsion bars, will bring the front end up ONLY? In my head I'm picturing the finished truck to look something very similar to a truck with a leveling kit, correct?

Wow, awesome info! I was totally set on going for a 3" lift max, but after seeing how a 4-6" looks and already knowing I wasn't going to use leveling blocks at all, I'm sold can't wait to get it done!
