Well someonesaid it could be done for free. Then some elseasked in question,all they had to do was crank the torsion bars up? These are not true.

As for the e-bay listing you posted. I'm not sure what it is, It says it a leving kit, but how do you raise the rear, and you can raise the front just by cranking you torsion bars up. You don't need to buy anything for the front. This e-bay seller has130 negative feed backs. 11 negatives in the past month. I would never make a e-bay purchase unless the seller had 100% positive feedback,
Oh I just read the negative feed backs for the past month and a couple of them were on these things he was selling. they has no instructions of how they worked.

 

i was just using the ebay link as a reference. never said i was purchasing it. i knew from the start how i was rasing the rear and knew it wasnt free. i was just curious as to how everyone was raising the front since im new to a torsion setup. i only tinkered with 2wd. thanks for your concern.

 

am i the only person who has tried the rancho lift? 99 D with 3 inch kit does everything i want it to. and i fit a decent sized tire 285/75/16 geolander

 

For the price of the Rancho lift you are one of the few that has it, I wanted it but I am just going to do the t/s lift for 50 bux or so.

 

well i went with the t/s lift and the bodylift. running 34" swampers. ride is excellent, almost like stock. thanks yall

 

Post Pics !!!

 

Just a little visual display of my project. From stock, with 235/75R-15. Then the T/S lift, 8 turns on the torsions and the Belltech 6400's. Then the AP 3" body lift and 33/12.50-15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials on stock 15X8 rims. Got a total of 7" lift with everything. Hope this helps. Ted

Hey Fellas, I just the T/S lift on my truck (not pictured in my signature and photo). For all of you that would like to do a lift of like 2 inches on ur D Heres what u gotta do. Go to SummitRacing.com and get a set of http://store.summitracing.com/partde...?part=BEL-6400. Now Get ur self a 15/16" Socket, a nice fat wrench and a piece of pipe that slides over the wrench (or an impact wrench).. The torsion bolts are not very fun. Take the pipe and slide it over the end of the wrench for some extra torque. Spin the torsion bolts 8 Revolutions in a tightening fashion (note the height from floor to bumer in front before and after) there are two seperate bolts... located under the truck about 2 feet in from the side at the point where the front and rear doors meet. Make sure you mark the bolts with a sharpie before hand in order to not loose count. Now ur done with the torsion part. Next, jack ur truck up and put somthing under the frame to support it (ie: blocks, jack, jackstand) now let the rear suspension go limp ensuring they do not reach the floor. Now remove the rear shackles (if u have a tow hitch, theyr in the way and u might have to unbolt if for the time being) the rear leaves are going to flex up tword the bottom of the vehicle. Seperate the leaves from the vehicle enough to get ur bolts lined up on ur new shackles and bolt em up.(use a small jack or some device to drop the leaves). And thats it. Your done.
PLEASE NOTE: I highly recomend HOSING everything down with WD40.... I know it wasnt a cake walk for me.
