Front end lift

I'm sure that this has been done to death, but I cranked my torsion bars and put OME 55mm springs in the rear, but the front is still a little low. Any suggestions on how to equal it up? Should I try to give the T-Bars a little more, I think that they are to the limit? Perhaps 1"body lift, but can that be done only to the front and not the back??? Help me out here!!!

nope. that's pretty much it. you can wait for the rear springs to sag. cranking the t-bars to 1.5 is the max. you can try to setup a progressive body lift. it's all custom but i've read it done to desert prerunners. basically, you take a bl kit and trim the pucks done from what you want. i've since them from 3" in the front to the 1" in the front.

What about a ball joint spacer? I remember reading about that over on ODW I think.

the idea behind the spacer is to reduce how much you crank the t-bars for a better ride. i think the most you can crank the t-bars is a little over 1.5" before it hits the upper bump stop.

Alright, I got a bit more out of the T-bars, so now I guess it is time for a sway away bar, feels a little loose, but that is ok....You think these ball joint spacers would give you a more stable ride? Or is that just the evil of having a higher truck?
