jsut noticed something.

so i was measuring out my height in all for corners, ground to bottom of fender flare and center of wheel to bottom of flare, and i noticed my driver side (front) is sitting 1/2" lower then the passenger side (front)

i did my pass. side first and i know i got all 8 turns, i think i lost count and miscounted (under counted) on the driver side... how should i correct this? or is anyone elses sitting a lil lower on that side due to the gas tank (my best guess as to the difference if i counted right on both sides)

i'm running a 265/70/16 tire and on my pass. side theres about 22.5" from center of wheel to bottom of fender flare, and about 22" on the driver

anyone wanna measure theres and let me know what they got?

You prolly just miscounted. Crank the drivers up another 2 turns. Torsion bars sag over time,and are designed to be "cranked" to make up for this sag....It may be the case that the drivers side has sagged more over time than the passengers side, so you may have started with un-equal heights up front. If your D usually has only 1 person in it, the extra 200lbs over the drivers side may cause that side to sag more over time.

yeah i jsut didn't want to crank it past my count of 8 as i was unsure

Crank one up 1 turn, the other down 1 turn......1/4 inch wont make that much of a difference

I have just been reading this thread and debating whether I should do the T/S lift and I think I found my answer. For those of you who did it, where do you order the new shackles from. I am already running Dunlop 32" R15 Mud Rover tires and I love em, all I need now is the lift to be complete for what I do. Any help as to where to buy would be great.

I have a -00did the lift and put 33/9.50/15 mud ta and they cler the fram just fine i had just a little rubing in the fron plastic bumper but bye loosning it and adjusting it it clears and i take mine deep in the woods with no rubing

33 x 9.5 x 15 is a pretty uncommon size of tire. What brand did you go with? BFG mud TA? isnt 33 10.5 15 or 33 12.5 15 the norm for tires??

all you had to do was slide the bumper forwards a bit to clear your 33's?

its late, and I'm tired, forgive my unending questions.
