Default leveling kit problems

hey and before I start I did use the search function.

bro has an 02 4x4 ram with torsion bars and installed a tuff country leveling kit. The distance between the wheel and the wheelwell was 5ish inches to start and the back was around 8 1/2 Now the front is almost 11 inches. the kit claimed it was a 1 1/2 - 2 inch leveling kit but 6 inches is way too much. cv joints are too extreme ball joints are maxed and shocks are not long enough even when driven to settle the suspenion it didnt help. (btw there is not enough adjustment to even get close.)

do you have the adjustment bolts cranked all the way in? something went wrong, and I bet the cv's are maxed!! you need to back the bolts out!!

something is wrong man! better take it apart and try it again. while apart check the original compared to the new ones and see how different they are.
