Default HELP! Should the bolts on a TGC level look like this?

Just installed my TGC level kit and I need some help. The bolts stick out pretty far...more so then stock. Is this how they should look? Please help!

only thing I can figure is that you put the new torsion keys on differently than the old ones you took out?

like the one ones u took out were at this angle - and the new ones you put in are like this / (not that steep but u get me.


Did you line them up the same as u took them off?

I hope that makes sense....Cuz mine had like a pentagon shape or whatever and you could put them on several different ways but obv some of them wouldn't work. I believe you can squeeze like 2 or 3 different positions out of it before it just straight up wont go back up in there, but I could be wrong? Just figured I would ask

Hm, I Have no idea then. Did you try tightening them back up to where they used to be and seeing what the truck looks like?

Since its a top gun customz level kit, if I crank them any more then the truck will be too high...I think.

Try taking them out and resetting them one notch left on your driver side and one notch right on your passenger side because those bolts should go back in, the idea is that the bolts should go back to where they were and that should put the truck at level.

if you take them back out can you find out what the thread pattern is on the bolts?? i think one of mine is striped and i cannot find out what size it is to go buy a new one.
