Would a level kits help?

.I have My torsion bars carnked up and I have 33x12.50x17 Nitto Md Grapplers And I want to fit a 35 a/t. I think i can get the 35's on it now but it want look right bc it hasnt got enought clearence. Would a 2' leveling kit from tuff country sit me up high enough. IT has torshion Keys, 2 ' blocks for the rear and shocks. Can anyone give me advice?

1) yes, 2" would probably give you the clearance you need....

but....

2)Given that you have already cranked the torsion bars, I don't think you can put a level kit on in addition to that - and even if you could, I can almost guarantee you will rip a CV boot or break a CV axle (your front suspension angles would be horrible).

3) you will probly want to look into a body lift or a spindle lift (though i don't know much about spindle lifts - it may be similar to a level kit, and if so, you would want to avoid that)... maybe Wandell will chime in and help you out. He's probly the best one to answer this question for you

I agree with wingman. Get a spindle lift. I wish they made them for out trucks.

He has a 4x4. Lift spindles are only available for the 4x2's.
I agree. A leveling kit, aka reindexed torsion bar adjustment keys are a terrible idea and will create more problems than they solve.
If you want to fit 35's inexpensively, add a 3 inch PA body lift. That's what I have.

The carpet only has to be pulled back a little to access the bolts. As for the seats, I don't know about a Supercab. I didn't have to pull the rear seat out of my Screw, but I had to remove the 2nd and 3rd row seats on a friend's Expy. It wasn't a big deal.

You don't cut the bumper itself. You just trim the edge of the plastic valance. If you do it neatly no one will ever notice.
