That is much better than what I found. I didn't really want 3" like the one I found was and most of the body lift's are 3" as well. This is looking like the one i'm going to get.

Thanks!

Also, are you planning on replacing you shocks when you do this one. Some of the research I have done recommend doing this.

 

Yeah I can do that! I'll post up a thread some time this weekend with this and a few other things I've done. As for the shocks I'm not going to replace them yet since I'm away at college a majority of the time so she doesn't get driven much until summer. I can tell you already ease of installation depends on how stuck your torsion bars are to the lower control arm and keys, mine are pretty stuck so it's just a matter of hammering and pulling on the suckers till they come off.

Welcome! and yeah I didn't want 3" of lift just yet either since I only have 31's on her now. I just think it'd look a little goofy.
But like I said I can't replace the shocks yet since I'm on a budget till I start working on the railroad again. But I plan on replacing the shocks this summer if I have enough cash left over from a few more important projects on the truck.

 

Sweet. Look forward to seeing some pics and I'm going to order my kit sometime this week.

 

That sounds great. I look forward to your post. My truck was sitting in grass for about 7 years so I suspect the tb's will be rusted in there pretty good. I do have a copious amount of pb blaster though

 

Okay, so a little update, no real progress yet though.

I got home around noon today from school and got working on the truck right away. The good news is the keys are finally freely moving on the t-bars now.
The bad news restricting the forward progress of this project is the t-bars being stuck in the control arms.
While I was away at school my Dad soaked the t-bars up by the control arm in PB blaster for the past week and they still wont budge. I was working and hammering away at them all day basically with no progress, I even removed the sway bar, disconnected the control arm from the knuckle and mount to remove them as one piece and hammer on it from the vice grip... as confident I was a this point still nothing. I threw in the towel for the night and am going to try my luck tomorrow bright and early.

So depending on how badly your t-bars are rust locked to the control arms the front half of the project is a real pain.

 

Why are you removing the torsion bars from the control arms?

 

In order to get the stock keys off and the new ones on.
The t-bars should go forward through the control arm after hitting the pin in front of them up out of the way.
However, mine are really stuck in there so I'm trying to bust them out of there to make the install 'easier' so to say instead of beating the living hell out of em with a bfh and making no forward progress from under the truck.

 

Just pull the bars down in the back until the keys clear the crossmember and take them off. Put the new ones on the same way. No need to mess with the front.

 

Are they able to go that low without affecting the bar?
I looked at the today but the keys look a little to big to slip between the crossmember and the bar.

 

Yup, they'll go. You'll need some kind of a prybar and a block of wood to stick in there, but it will work. Remember, they're springs. They can flex a long way without damage.
