Well it has come to pass that I have found that even with a 3" body lift, the RezLuv is not as high as I would like it to be so i'm going to go ahead and do the Isuzu t-bar crank lift, I hope to get about 2-3" by doing this. has anyone done this, and how hard is it really? I read the article on Planetisuzoo.com on how to do the lift and the tools needed and every thing. I just wanted to hear from some people who have done the lift.

The t-bar crank is easy once you get the adjuster bolts turning. Just a word of warning, be sure to have some support under the frame while you do it. If the adjuster bolt should happen to break, the truck will come down in a hurry and you don't want to get caught by it. I broke one bolt doing my truck but it had been living in Utah and had road salt rust sticking just about every bolt on it.

The harder part is coming up with matching lift in the rear. An added leaf or longer shackles will get that though. Most go for longer shackles, on that you need twice the added length of the lift you want. So if you want 2 inches the shackles need to be 4 inches longer than stock.

Thanks, i'll be sure to put jack stands underneath when do it

when you do the rear be sure to check the driveline angles too! otherwise you could wear out your u-joints and sling a driveline

Thanks, i'm not going to lift the rear though, it was already lifted with add-a-leafs before I got it and is stitting about 2" higher than stock.
