Re: safetiest torsion bar lift

Thats fine, the keys are a rip off anyways. Even if you did want to use them its still not suggested to go over 1 1/2 inches in the front.

Re: safetiest torsion bar lift

i took the truck to a local suspension shop a while ago, and asked them to crank the torsion bar and align the tires, they lifted it .5 "

i have a feeling that the truck may have settled because that was before i ever put my plow on the truck,
do u see any issues with cranking the bars to the max and adding the plow??
