Default Leveling the front of an aspen

I have an 08 Aspen with the AWD system and I noticed on a few sites that the torsion keys sold exclude vehicles with the AWD system - they are for the part time 4wd trucks.

Also, does twisting the torsion bars lead to premature CV joint failure or any other issues? Ideally I'd like to fit a 32" or 33" tire with any issues.

Oh, and if anyone can give me the specs of the silver durango with the black wheels shown in the readylift site, I'd like to know what size tires,wheels, and wheel offset are on that truck. That's the exact look I'm going for.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

FWIW... Leveling of the 08 Aspen AWD would be the functional same 100% to leveling a 08 Durango AWD.

How to do exactly? Dunno. Just know they are the same so you may have better luck searching for Durango modification details.

It may cause bumpsteer according to an article that I read, but mostly lowering causes a problem,

I cranked up my front end over a 1" and I have no issues on my 2007 Durango. I got an alignment 7 days later.

I believe what Randy was asking was if Poker's truck was full time 4wd, or if it had the select track system in it. It sounds like the Limited has the full time system though, they didn't offer transfer case options on the limited did they?

All Durango limited models are AWD (full time) with 4x4 high and low. I do not think they make the limited model in 2x4,

Yes, my 2007 Limited HEMI is full time AWD with 4lo and 4hi.

I would say the majority of the guys on DT (the better/bussier Durango forum) have cranked up their front ends with the TB bolts. I haven't seen anyone posting any issues from it. I have over 10k miles on mine since raising it.

Gag!

Their previous site owner was an absolute ****.

And there is a reason there are all ****stars when they mentioned here.... unlike your veiled workaround.
