i am getting ready to put new tires on my truck and i wanna put either 2 or 3 in blocks in the rear, my question is whats the best way to lif the front up to match? will the stock adjustments on the torsion bars lift it enough or is there another way?? its a 99 dakota 4x4 thanks

 

I doubt the bars will get you up there without getting aftermarket keys. You can also do a body lift too

 

stock torsion bars will get you just shy of 2 inches. Thats what I have done to mine.

 

ok cool thanks, where can i get diffrent keys? like 2" or 3" torsion keys? and blocks, is there a good place online to find this stuff?/ thanks

 

and also i am planning on putting 33/10.5-15 tire on i but will 12.5 wide fit if i wanna go that wide or will they hit?

 

You can get keys on ebay prob find the whole kit with keys,blocks,ubolts and new bolts. Im pretty sure 12.50s are going to rub unless you get a different wheel.

 

i figured they would rub but wanted to check. thank you

 

you don't need keys it does nothing different then turning them so dont waste your money...just make sure they aren't resting on the bump stops up front. i would do 2" in the back or it will be raked kinda bad and to fit 33x12.50's your gonna have to get a little sawzaw happy i think and they wont fit stock rims

 

I thought the keys were bigger than the stock ones?

 

this is from a post a long ways back about this argument about torision bars vs keys from a member thats no longer around i dont think...... "Well now that I have gone through the install, in my opinion, these are kinda worthless. As I see it, wether the torsion bar anchor is offset 2 inches or you just crank the adjuster down more, it is putting 2 more inches worth of pressure on the torsion bar resulting in the lower control arm raising the front end. So either way your adding the same amount of pressure to the bar, am I crazy when thinking and looking this setup? Also, longer shocks are not needed as the bump stop will stop the upper control arm travel before the shock extends any farther then stock. Your not adding any travel to the front end, just adjusting where in the travel the front end sits.

In my opinion, cranking the bars, getting beefier shocks, and moog greasable ball joints is the best thing to do besides an outright lift, which after talking to rancho does add a little travel (not enough travel to justify the cost to me though).

My 2 cents."
