Did I just read this?


A T/S lift is a Torsion/Shackle lift. This is not a name brand and that sales man/tech over at 4 wheel parts don't know ****!


All you do is crank the torsion bars (8 turns from OEM height) for the front and add a Belltech 6400 shackle to the rear springs replacing the OEM smaller shackle. Then get a 4 wheel alignment to finish it off.

I don't have a lift. I'm running OEM. I have Firestone Sport-Rite 2222 air bags installed. I want to know if they can be installed with a 2 inch T/S lift? The main issue is I'm asking "is there enough room to fully extend the rear springs with the T/S lift installed"?

Next I want to find some better HD shackles other than the Belltech 6400.
