badasschevy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 To tighten the torsion bars and raise the front end does it have the truck have to be off the ground im thinking about doing thi to my Silveradoyes, atleast the front. also i would reccomend an alignment afterwards or you can have some odd tire wear. center console: lvl 4 12 1.75 cu ft tuned 37htz alpine cda-9886 dc audio 120.4 infinity kappa 6.5" components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98crewcab Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you are only wanting to level it, and are talking 1" lower rear, the best way would be to get new rear shackles. this wont affect the spring in your front torsions, put you lower and not higher, and they can be found pretty cheap. for 1" rear drop, you want 2" longer shackles (half the spring....)

Team Bass-Hz(JIB) Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 ok so i have an 03 tahoe that i want to level out. IDC if i raise the front or drop the read.I was wondering what the easiest and cheapest way is to do it. I know the torison bars are alot of work to put on and they run around 130. I heard the only way to drop the rear end is new springs but how much would that run me. Any other ways? You can usually take it to a muffler shop to get the rear coils heated, little by little you'll see the rear dropping...thats probably the cheapest way to even out a tahoe Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korey_hofer Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 just so somebody doesn't make a mistake if you have a s10 do not get tbar keys you will run through front end parts every month you can't get the right angles to make it work and getting keys for 1" is dumb I raised the blazer 2" with sagging bars previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
