Max crank, only gained 1''

[ShadowRejects]

First of all, was the front end off the ground when you did this or did you get under it and start cranking?

I tried both ways.. None worked.

Does anybody think im doing this wrong? here's what im doing:

-lifting the front end of the truck up
-cranking the bolts to the right to raise it
-turn both sides the even amount
-lowering the wheels back onto the ground


anything im missing??

nope, that's exactly how you do it, raise until the tires are off the ground, righty tighty them bolts, your choice of turns, doing both the same regardless is good no matter how they are, then lower, drive, and if satisfied alignment ASAP.

my ps only went 3 turns and is maxxed yet me ds has 3 turns or so left, so yea same amount on both is good.

if its not working then like everyone said your bars are shot.

I took some pictures... i drove it around and it got noticeably higher... im starting to think having 2 different tires is why the front end isnt as high as the rear.... definitly not keeping these tires so dont think i am lol.. im going to get 33's. here are some pics... i wish the front end was a little higher..

measure fender height and youll find out for sure if its level or not.

front end is lacking about an inch and a half... which i can easily adjust by tweaking with all the tire pressures

 

[TylerZ281500]

will your shocks allow an inch and a half more crank to them, i doubt tire pressure is your issue unless they leak, which they should soon be replaced per your last thread.

we just did aftermarket keys and 1 ton bars on my friends 98 and we got about 3.5 inches out of his keys and bars, his bilsteins said they could accept 3-4 inches of lift but they didnt and locked in place making a very rough unshocked ride.

what do your angles look like?

1 ton bars would make a 1/2 ton ride pretty rough anyways...that much cranking certainly didn't help things tho
