ShadowManR6 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 So i just spent this last week finishing up most of my lift with steering stabilizer, minus the torsion bars. Now when i finished adding the coil springs to the back, i noticed a slight tilt downward to my drivers side, upon comparing sides, my space comparison from driver to passenger for the rear was off by 1 inch, thought maybe sometin with me not doing the front might have some issue, so finished doing the front and now my back is still 1 inch off and now the front is 1/2 inch off, any ideas where i might have messed up or what might fix this, maybe the fact that i haven't done the torsion bars, but didn't think that would affect the back in anyway.

Kn0xville Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) if your front passenger side is down, then your rear drivers side will be up and visa versa. Could just be a tbar adjustment. Edited March 31, 2007 by Kn0xville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowManR6 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 the torsion bars should add an inch or 2 correct? cause at the moment put on the new uca's and didn't seem to make any difference, might be cause of the offset right now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Once again, simply installing UCA's does not lift the vehicle. Cranking up the t-bars lifts it. The UCA's simply account for the increased angle on the balljoints, except in the case of the AC UCA's, which are so close to stock it doesn't make much difference.

ShadowManR6 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) just finished swapping in the new torsion bars, encountering the exact same sag towards the drivers front, and lifting in the passenger rear. so by turning the splines is that what actually changes the level of lowering/lifting? Or is it actually tightening the 2 nuts that connect from the top to the longer bolt. the front passenger seems to tighten enough to give some lift, but we've tighten the front drivers to hell and back and won't tighten any more and it's still very very low. any suggestions ideas maybe something we've missed?

aries247 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 after doing the adjustment start up vehicle and turn wheels lock to lock. for some reason mine were hitting the bump stops until i turned the wheels. then it sat pretty good. drove around to let everything settle and did final adjustments when i put the coils on the following day. i don't know if anybody else had the same problem or not but just a suggestion....

Kn0xville Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 to lift , you tighten that bolt (losen the nut first) at the end of the tbar near the center of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowManR6 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 i have tightened that bolt as far as possible and gain no lift on my drivers side, my passenger side does get a lift tho when i tightened it's bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Is it possible that the spline on the lower arm socket stripped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowManR6 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 ok figured what the problem was, and got it to get more height, just an issue with that anchor arm (or whatever it is) not adjusted to the right spot. Now the instructions that came with the lift say that the UCA should sit like 1/2 inch above the rubber bumper, is this pretty accurate or would say needs to be lower to it?
