More lift in the front with torsion bars (HEMI 4x4)
Cheers everyone,
I bought a "lift kit" a few months back, with 2" lift blocks in the rear and 3" "keys" front.
Installed it all, riding good with shock extenders and Bilstein 4600. But the front didn't got lifted high enough to be level. It's about 1" missing in total.
Is there any way to get the front a little higher to match the rear?
Would installing new torsion bars help?
Or are there longer torsion bar screws available? Or other torsion bar keys? The ones I bought said to be lifting 3", but they didn't for sure, more like 1-1.5".
Thanks a lot for any help!

Yeah, I thought of getting 1" blocks in the rear, but that would need to replace the U-bolts again, right?
And I tried searching for new torsion bars, but they are not available.
Truck has 240.000km, so about 150.000 miles, on it. Not too crazy, but it's a 2004 model so 20 years also.

If its only 1" difference, just live with it. Trucks don't sit level when unloaded by design. Throw some weight in the bed, and the front can end up quite a bit HIGHER than the rear.......

Google tells me that most U-bolts are "stretch" bolts. But not all. So I was curious how it's on our cars.
Will have a look at U-bolt prices though. Not that big thing in the end. But more lift in the front would be even better
