it was johnnymagnum who said the keys were useless, if i were you, id crank them just 6 turns, since you wont max out your shocks or brake lines, plus you still have some play left in the torsion bars

well what i was figuring i would do is : turn the 7 full revolutions and maybe a quarter of one...or just stick to 7 this way its only 1 3/4" of lift on the front just enough to be able to squeeze some 275/70/16 pirelli scorpions on it here soon

I like when people bring my name up


but ya, I would crank the T bars up 8 turns. I bought the keys and its the same as cranking them. they just make sure you get the 8 turns outta them. and aslong as you know how to count, you should be good

I still havent gotten around to lifting my truck yet... I still gotta install my roll pan[:@]

Lol you must be sliding out of your seat into the steering wheel. If everything fails a shop will turn then for probablly 1 labor hour you know? You really gotta get the front end up though.

Ziggy, dumb question but when you were trying to turn them did you lift the front tires off the ground?

it will make it ALOT easier if you lift the front tires off the ground.

Try letting some PB or some WD-40 sit on it for a couple of days.
