t100

my t100 sits with the rear end up higher.. ive tried to crank my torsion bars and that does nothing for me.. i cant find a leveling kit.. and so my next option would be putting longer shocks on the front.. has anyone does this and is there any problems with doing so? and what kind or how long should i get them if i just want say 2-3 inches higher in the front?

you didnt look very hard, but i dont believe that longer shocks would raise your truck any to begin with... perhaps spacers would work best for your application

Unless your front shocks are too short and preventing the front end from raising up, they won't do anything for the front ride height. One option is ball joint spacers:

Or try the torsion bar adjustment higher, it will raise the front end if done right:

Are you lifting the front end of the truck off the ground when you adjust the torsion bars?

Also, you know that cranking the torsion bars really stiffens the ride, right? Go with BJ spacers if you dont like the p/u truck rake.

ive done the torsion bars and it does nothing.. the ride is still the same.. and the height is still the same.. what about a leveling kit? give me a little info in these

The torsion bars should raise the front end, unless you have something else going on, such as the shocks limiting the up-travel or you have them cranked all the way up already. The ball joint spacers will push the steering knuckle away from the upper suspension arm for additional lift:

Its possible that if you are doing everything correctly that the torsion bars are worn out. If you have a lot of miles or are hard on your rig with the heavier tires they can wear our, then will sag.

I would look into new torsion bars, BJ spacers probally wont help worn out bars.
