Reindexed torsion keys
#41
The measurements are only before and after the front end overhaul. Before I dropped it back down. I do believe that I only have about a 1" lift from the first measurements.
My rear is sitting just above 37" I do believe. That is after the add a leaf install
I wonder if they are 30.5s.... hmm I am too lazy to go check right now

I think that my problem was the bump stops. Local places are asking around $15 a piece though and rockauto has for ~$5. Debating now weather I would rather wait for them or not

I do not know anyone from Winnipeg that has ordered from Roackauto so I am unsure of what kind of shipping times to expect. I might order them from there just so I can find out what they are like. I have been wanting to order for a while, just didn't know what. Plus I called my local store and whoever answered the phone didn't even know what I was talking about...
Strange I read your post then replied and it showed up before yours....

My last order was from Rockauto and was great, but I do try to spend my money at local auto stores as much as possible when its only a minor cost difference. They are the ones who will be there on sunday when you are in dire need of a part and the cheap online places wont be able to get it to you in time.
Keeps the local stores open and money in the community, IMO.
$20 is $20, though.

Sorry everyone!! I really know that I should have updated this months ago
I ended up ordering in some replacement bump stops at a local store. I forget how much they were.
After fighting with the rust etc I finally got them in (the upper ones)
Then found out that or course, you should always replace stuff in pairs as the bottom ones fell out. Go figure
I then jacked up my keys some more until JUST before the control arms were touching the stops.
Overall I ended up with about 2" of lift I believe. I do have pictures but can't find them right now. My axles have been fine.
I am really sorry for not updating sooner as I remember a few of you were worried about this issue.
My truck does sit approximately 1" higher on the passenger side then it does on the drivers. I am unsure if it was like this before or not but it is front and back. I know I have a ruined body mount and my box does not line up properly. I think it may be an issue with one torsion bar being more worn out? Maybe the previous owner was heavy set, I am unsure but damn it bothers me

I was trying that but I could loosen one side and the other would come down or vise versa. Its quite strange but I may play with it some more on the hoist or get the shop to take a look when it goes in for the alignment.
I have noticed a few places where the truck has been in an accident so I wonder if other stuff is bent or something

I know it is a little off topic but today I was at the U-Pull it looking for a driveshaft after I dented mine good this weekend, I'll post up pics and videos later.
At the Junkyard I couldn't believe my eyes, I found a 92 dakota with the Trailmaster $3,000 lift kit that is no longer made. It was complete. I feel so sick for leaving it there, but I have more lift and a stronger axle now. But I wanted that kit for so long and every time I go there I check for that kit, and now I found one and I don't need it.
Heck if anyone wants it come pull it In Albuquerque New Mexico. Maybe a few hundred?

the body lift was obvious, just spacers....easy to pull...if you can put arrows on your pics indicating which parts are included in the kit, I can get them easily enough...

I think I saw one of those near me, but not being knowledgeable in this area, I don't know what parts are included....

If you still need me to point out pieces after viewing the pictures let me know.
