I dont see any pics eliminate, but oh well the galleries are not working right for me I just posted in the questions about the site thread, I took some pics today too and cant upload them Im starting to get ill about this mess

Oh! yea the torsion bars, is one side in but the other side its like the key will not go up far enough to get the other bar in, that is the problem I had, I put the driverside bar in first, the bracket that drops down the stock crossmember that holds the keys in I put the bolts in and left them loose, then I went to the passenger side and put the torsion bar in the pocket on the lower control arm and slid it about one foot or so towards the front of the truck, alright the passenger side bracket is loosley bolted to the main crossmember where the keys go but it is not bolted to the frame of the truck yet, you will have to adjust the whole crossmember up or down to get the bar lined up with the key and the pocket on the lower control arm at the same time, once you get it in both slots I had to then take a hydraulic jack and put under the key as close as I coud to where the bolt goes in (I had the bolt out of the little block that goes under the key) and jacked up the whole crossmember and bracket all of this is hooked together now it just needs to be bolted to frame on the passenger side,

this is alot of info, I hope this helps these are the exact steps I had to do this in order for me to get the torsion bars in, good to hear your making proggress I still want to see the pics though if you need any more help feel free to ask!!

 

I will go out and try that. I thought about doing that but didn't. Maybe that be easier. I am trying to upload the pics but don't seem to work. I may have to use photobucket or someting

 

no problem man , I dont know if this would help or not, if you need any pics of the torsion bars after they have been installed let me know, I think I have a few in my install gallery

What kind of tires and what size are those man!

Also which wheels are those they look awsome on your truck, my neighbor just got those exact wheels on his f350 work truck!

Your truck looks freakin huge man you are going to love it when you get through and finally get to drive it, it just makes it all worthwhile when you get finished trust me!!!

 

Tires are BFG KM2 MT 37/12.50/17 on MB Razor wheels. I have to call discount tire tomorrow as they gave me wrong lug nuts. I got torsion bars on now too. SO I'm uploading pics with no stands or jack under it .

Lookin good

 

Just thought I would update ya on truck. So hopefully I will have pics of truck completed except for alignment this weekend

 

That sounds awsome man!

How involved was it to take the old ones out and put the new gears in? what all did you have to take apart?

Good to hear from you man, I cant wait to see the finished pics Its going to be SWEET!

 

That is correct

 

Hey Richard D I Love your truck man it looks awsome!

I noticed you have the roadmaster active suspension to, i have it on my truck just wondering how do you like it?

Also what winch and brush guard setup do you have I really like your set up on the front of the truck it not to much stuff but it is everthing you need

 

Thank You,
When i had the Roadmaster active Suspension on the truck prior to the lift i loved it. I have not even tried to install it with the lift although a pre test fit seems to show it will still fit.
I am actually trying to locate some traction bars instead but thus far my search has been in vain as all the ones i have found interfere with where my Nerf Bars are mounted.

As for the Brushguard it is a Manik One Piece welded and the winch plate is also from Manik. Winch is a WARN SDi9500. I had the bruchguard covered in Line-X when the powdercoating began to fade. Also had the nerf bars covered with it as well.
