so i bought torsion keys and they adjustable 1-2 in the front. i have a v4 4x4 xlt and i was wondering if i have to lift the rear as well or the front is gonna do it? i wanna lift it without extending..what should i do? or what should i but if i gotta lift the back? i dont have the bigger tires now but planon putting them on..im runnin 255/70.16 right now and wanna go with bf authorities 31's
They are the cheapest route and actually come on 4x4 Rangers from factory, so they are definitely safe!
Could you get a pic from the back side of your rear axle (under the truck)? This way I'll be able to tell you if your truck has blocks or not. The picture makes it difficult to tell since it's somewhat on an angle. It looks like it's not higher in the rear, so my guess is you don't have them.
I found this on eBay. Looks to be a factory set (actually comes with three, but you only need two). And they're less than $50 shipped!
Well, if he doesn't have anything lifting the rear, the truck will sit higher in the front.
I would really recommend installing the lift keys and seeing how it sits at that point. You may like the look and decide against lifting the back. Then, if you still want it higher in the back, go with the lift blocks.
if he has blocks or not the back will still be higher all trucks are higher in the back so when your towing a load it levels out. the tbar key is a level kit not a lift kit so it will make the truck sit level
ill snap a pic tomm.. i def wouldnt mind sittin up higher anyway..i def dont wanna have to bring it back i case it does sit hight in the front..but why else would they call it a leveling kit right?
ive seen some of the kit lift the front higher for some odd ass reason. the kit a friend got for his 2500 hd lifted the front higher then the back did i gave him a load leveling it help a lot till he took on a load.lol
so i can change that though right ? to maybe a 2 or a 2.5 inch block? jus in case i wanted to do all together..im makin the apt on mon for somtime during the week..fx demons is where i wanna be but he did a 3 inch body lift..i got a 2 inch max..well see how it goes..ill put um up
aww y not what wrong with the raked look lol i usely do my lift in the front first then see howhigh i want to go in the rear but we have a skyjacker shop really close by that carries ne thing i could want on hand.(i only do the front first cus its usely more pricey inless it was my old gmc then nothing was cheep at all
the rake is not my problem but when its lifted it looks better with a rake starting in the front like this Front<---__Back. when its lowered it should be raked from the back forward front<__---back like that just imo
so how do i lift the rear? and with what? im looking to boost it up bout and inch or 2 already got the front in and it looks good..the front can go higher because its adjustable so i just need the back to go up..what do you suggest?
ok, so i looked up drop shackles and have no idea which ones im looking at..so i m looking to get about 2inches outta it..i dont understand how these work or what year im looking for..and also what aboutt the blocks?
If you go for the shackles, the 2" drop shackles are the ones you're looking for. I would make sure and message the seller and make sure they are 2.5" wide.
The adjustable shackles usually give you a couple options (1" or 2"). But they usually cost about $15-20 more.
