Hi all -
OK I finalized the plans for my '03 FX4 Screw. I'm going to do a 6+3 lift, crank the torsion bars, and install add a leafs to raise the rear a little more. I'm either going with 36x15.50 or 38x15.50 tires (can't decide yet).

Here's where I'm at. I'm going to do the body lift first since I already have it in my garage (yep going to attempt both lifts myself). The suspension lift will follow in a few weeks (depending on my schedule).

Should I crank the torsion bars and install the leafs when I do the body lift? Or when I do the suspenion lift? Does it matter when in the process it's done?

Thanks much!

 

1. Body lift
2. Suspension lift, torsion bar adjustment, add-a-leaf, wheel alignment

Pretty sure you will be OK putting the body lift on without getting an alignment. Once you tinker with the front suspension, your going to need an alignment.

 

like keeks said do body lift first. then everything else after. you will already have the rear end pulled apart so you dont have to take apart your rear twice to do the AAL. really easy install if you have not done it before for the AAL.

 

I agree.
