Default Shocks....Help

Ok here it goes I just installed skyjacker 7092 on front of my truck and they for trucks with 2-4 inch lift which mine does not have but I was going to do the torsion bar lift but when I dropped truck down the shocks are fully collapsed but it did raise my front end about 1 inch so it's where I wanted it with torsion lift so my questions are is should the shock be fully collapsed? And should I still crank the torsion bar?


Sorry I don't know crap about suspension just motors and audio

Are you sure you didn't bottom-out the shocks? If they're fully-collapsed, you'll have to crank the torsion bar.

Not to mention the shocks come fully collapsed and even when you take them out the Wont push out..is this how hydro shocks are because my OEM would push back out after you would push them fully collapsed

I dont know, that is a whole lot of cranking on the torsion bar just to get any movement out of those shocks. Any way you can return them???

It maxes out pretty quick on the torsion crank
