[@JW--dc8ri]

No

[@flusfemoji4994]

Yes

[@chrisfix]

You can do it a few ways. On my truck it was already lifted from the factory so lifting the front balanced it out (this is the case on most factory lifted trucks). One way to lift the rear is to add an extra leaf to the leaf springs. This is typically more complicated. So the easier way is to add a block (aka spacer) between the leaf springs and where the leaf spring rests on the rear differential. They sell them and they are relatively cheap.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

Do you have a specific brand or material? Some companies are switching to aluminum but im not sure the long term turn out would be. Because of the shipping problems in getting steel into the country. Or just say f it and go with rough country and save all the headache lol watched your leaf spring video. So you answered my question.

[@jamescastelonia5179]

I hit send and I didn't mean to I had more to say I actually had to dial down what I did with the torsion bars so that the truck could be aligned properly and then he warned me that it was stressing out my u-joints my dog bones and everything else

[@chrisfix]

+BackinOrbit, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you see this. If you lift just the front tires, you will throw off the alighment and make your suv handle off on the highway. Plus, it might look funny if it isnt level.

Went to the carwash and pressure washed wheel wells, and undercarriage twice with hot water, soap, and then rinse with hot water ✌ times. Drove home and it was dry, applied rust reformer, then waited till the next day to apply undercarriage coating. Came out better then new! Even kinda looks like aftermarket custom parts because it looks so good, at least to a random girl that likes my truck lol.

[@Beltmaker09]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe The reason why the front is always lower than the rear is comes in to factor I believe when you have something in tow it's to keep the front end towards the ground so that way when whatever you're towing is on the back it levels out the truck

That's right

Definitely which is why you only crank the bars a few times. The small lift it gives isnt enough stress to really do anything. Mine is a daily driver so I cant put a lot of stress on the suspension.

nice video. But let me correct ya. you did everything correctly. but.. should make sure the tires are the right size. And treads are about the same, left to right. on the front. check air pressure, make sure the psi are equall then take measurement. And when you adjust the tordions. you want to be the same height right to left, or left to right. you don't have to make equal adjustments. Your goal is to raise the front end. and level it so your not sagging on one or the other side. best way is to crank on torsions. get it raised where you want it, and at the same time, keep it the same height from left to right, or vise versa. And if you want to get picky. then you can crank the driver side torsion a bit higher than the passenger side to compensate for driver weight. when you have a heavier driver, it will help. but it only takes about 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher. at the most.ans get the alignment done, right away.

Do u have a block in the back?

[@aaronbohnen1870]

Is it possible to raise the back?

[@ArynBeltran]

No, the only way is to add a block between your lift springs and axel

[@sparky1044]

From personal experience: previous owner of my 2003 Sonoma had maxed out the t-bars, it cost me new cv axles and a few hours labor at my local garage (needed to heat up the bolts, I'm in the rust belt). For an inch extra okay, but don't max out the adjustment!

So this is only a good idea if you plan on getting new tires soon right?

[@ndgoliberty]

only if they are more worn on the inside than outside

[@Shazrunner]

+Liquid.Song But a new tire wouldnt be worn at all

[@Karbuster]

+BillyBozen or if you do the responsible thing and get an alignment before you do anything else

[@DonutHole123]

+BillyBozen he doesn't mean the new tires, he means the old tires before you get new ones

[@chrisfix]

watch 2:25 and if it doesnt make sense let me know and I will try to explain

[@chrisfix]

Exactly! I agree 100%

he called a socket a ratchet...

[@louieallen1608]

[@MEGATROID114]

So should he be checking for any loose nuts? or uneven tread wear? XD

[@JoshuaWooten94]

He called Hillary honest

[@Jackle61]

So now when you put something heavy in the back it will look like it's "squatting".

[@chrisfix]

Jackle61 If you put something heavy in the back, you wont be riding with all of that weight too long anyway. I had 2000lbs of rock back there and it it was only squatting a little.

[@FT4Freedom]

Buying/installing the aftermarket torsion key set gets you stronger keys that won't snap under force. And you are not loading up the adjustment bolt with a lot of tension.

[@chrisfix]

Yea, I wouldnt do it unless you are gonna get her re-aligned... Like you said, big tires are big money!

[@joeldavis7103]

theres two nuts lol
