Hey guys for christmas my dad has thrown some money towards the luv! radiator cleaned, pistons put onto the conecting rods,and a clutch kit. plus he is going to put it all together he bought the parts gots everything laid out and he is going to start puting it together tomarrow!


Now the problems is! i dont know how to crank the t bars up???? i really need help with this i found all 6 cab bolts for the body lift but i wanted to crank the t bars up to see how much lift i can get? how do i know if they are all the way up? or when i went to far? anyone got pics of the t bars where i need to crank on? rly need help with this! thanks!



Also what does this mean?? will i have to do this also?

I have 2" in the rear with my shackle AAL combo and I sit level in the front with a 3.25" crank. Your gonna need to do a diff drop after that much cranking though. Also, a ball joint flip to help with alignment.

Just about under the seat, ( but under the truck) you'll find a hex head bolt that is vertical. You'll notice it is at the back end of the torsion bar. Clockwise lifts, and counter clockwise lowers. Hit em with WD40 or something first.
I get a sharpie, and mark the frame and nut so that I can keep track of a full turn. Crank them both that same amount of turns to keep the truck level.
Go 3 or 4 turns, then check the amount of bounce you have. As the truck goes up, it also makes it not flex as easily, giving a much stiffer ride, so....
