I hate to bring this up again, but I don't want to hurt my truck and I am not familiar w/t-bar setups.

I read a bunch of posts from the Dak, Ram and Durango areas and got mixed results. The Durango guys are saying not to crank the bolts all the way and the others are saying it can be done w/o hurting the susp.

My question is can a few people chime in and back up 440shadow on screwing the bolts all the way in to get the full 2" w/o messing up the front end? I know if I am too hard on the truck stuff will break regardless, I just want to know that I am not doing something wrong initially.

Thanks 440shadow and everybody

Ok I found a few posts that talk about not turning the bolts all the way in.
https://dodgeforum.com/m_483646/tm.htm
https://dodgeforum.com/m_172816/tm.htm
Well I had found more, but can't find them again to put a link up.

I want to do mine on Sunday and would really appreciate a few more people (that have cranked them all the way) to respond with what they have done, seen or heard.
Thanks Guys N Gals
