Question ebay 2" level kit? need some input...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259


Im looking for a decent ( cheap) lift nothing major. I figured 2" should be fine, for some mild 4x4 wheeling.

How is this kit?
How hard are they to install?
Is there any worry about the stock torsion bars flex? (with 98,000 miles on them)
thanks...

Thats a mis leading advertisment. That is in no way a real suspension lift. It's a set of tb keys and some blocks.

^ Yup. You can crank the torsion bars yourself and get a set of blocks from autozone for way less.

No, you can crank them and get 2".

This summer I am going to crank the front just an inch to level it out with the back.

I've seen it done and just that one inch to level it out makes it look a lot better.

but you're not going to get 3" in the front no matter what you do unless you go buy one of the outrageously expensive lifts out there. If you crank the torsion bars all the way and add 2" blocks in the back its pretty level. Considering the torsion bad lift and blocks is only $30 I'd say do it.

Ok well being that I need 3in in the front I dont see this as being expensive http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-Lev...#ht_754wt_1167

The other alternative is a SAS and THAT is expensive! I do not have the skill, tools, space or time for that so its not gonna happen
