I got a 1999 Dodge Durango with a 5.5 Tuff Country Suspesnion lift and a 3 body lift. I wana geta couple more inches in the front so i can fit 37's nicely. Can i crank up the bars with this lift and if so how???

 

I'm not sure what the tuff country lift does with your front suspension, but if you want to crank the tbars, just look for the bars running front to back along the sides of the vehicle. At the rear there is a large bolt that you turn clockwise for lift. One turn = 1/4 inch of lift. There should be about 8 turns available for a total of 2 inches of lift before you max out the bolt and it won't go any farthur. On a sidenote, I hope you've done some work to the front driveline because if you wheel it hard at all with 37's the IFS isn't going to like it. The general rule of thumb is 33" tires and any bigger require a beefier front axle, or a solid axle swap. Hope this helps...

 

Shadow it won't max out the bolt you just don't want to go any more than 2 inches because of camber and the extra stress it will put on the axles being at that angle.

 

Oh my bad. I had heard that the bolt simply stops moving after 8 turns, but if it doesn't I guess you just have to be careful to not go too far. Mark the bolt with a permanent marker or something like white-out so you can count the revolutions. I don't think I put 8 turns on mine, maybe 6 or 7 was enough for me. We decided not to jack the vehicle up to do the work so it was a workout turning those bolts-not sure I would advise doing it while it's on the ground like that...

 

ok i have a string going already i see this torusion bar lift how much can you get i have a 01 slt with the 5.9

 

You have a string going? The torsion bar/shackle lift is about 2 inches, depending on which shackles you get and how much you decide to crank up the torsion bars.

 

yea about lifts want to lift it up some
but thanks for the info

 

Here's a question...If I crank up my torsion bars, how far can I go without needing an alighnment, if one needed at all?

 

You should be fine with 2" and I wouldn't go beyond that anyway, you can start breaking parts if you go any higher from the extra stress of being lifted. If you haven't had an alignment in a while you should get one done anyway. It's cheap and if you go too firestone you can buy lifetime alignments for $150 or so.

 

Thanks, good to know.
