question about the ride height of my truck

jayhackett03 · 01-27-2005, 07:13 PM

my truck seems lower than the v6 trucks of my year/style. were the 4cyl trucks not as high as the v6 trucks??? if so, how can i make it higher, like a couple of inches, i know a body lift is an option, but i'd rather have a suspension lift.

what about shackles and tightening the front torsions a little???

now, i think i have some ass end sag, could i just get shackles to fix that?

Any reduced ride hight is due to sag. The trucks are identicall other than the engine and gearing and posably the stock tire sizes. You can crank up the torsion bars up front to raise it back to stock hight. I think your best bet in the rear is to get new aftermarket rear springs. I got new coils in my 4runner to give it a 1.5" lift.

how far can lift it before it starts to be in a bind?
