Opinions needed
« on: Oct 24, 2022, 05:53:33 PM »
My DD is a 94 4x4 extended cab with 297,000 on the body and drive train. I have my second 22re in it now.  My son and I raised the front with the torsion bars and now I need advice on what’s best to level the rear to the front. Thanks.

How much lift did raise the front, did you use 25mm torsion bars or just crank them up?

Depending on the amount of lift you put in the front, you could run an additional main leaf, overload leaf spring, 1" lift blocks, or go with a set of 2" lift springs.

Cranking on the stock torsion bars isn't the best way to get lift for the front, as it usually results in a very stiff ride, and limits the up travel of the A-arms when off road. 

What size tires are you looking to run?  32's will fit with just a slight modification to the firewall body seam depending on the offset of the wheels you are using.  The two options to cranking the torsion bars is replacing them with 25mm bars, or using ball joint spacers, both of which usually yield 1.5" of lift w/o stiffening the ride.
