Easy 2-3in lift help...
 
ok so im looking for a easy cost effective way to get a 2-3in lift for my 02 1500 Z71. With that being said im not into body lifts at all dead set on that. I was thinking about a helper leaf in the rear for a 2in lift with Rancho 8000's 4-6in lift shocks. I know that the helper leaf with have a more rugged ride but that dont bother me im going to looks and hauling efficiency with a little bit of 4x4 on the side. For the front i was going to crank the front T-Keys up about 8 turns since each turn is about a 1/4 of an inch for another 2in lift with Rancho 8000's 2in lift shocks. I will have the front end realigned cause i know the toe will be out or in which ever it might be. The reason im going with the lifted shocks is because the tubes are longer and i should have a better ride at this height plus my stock shocks are on there last leg with the rear pass being bent at about a 45 degree bend lol... Just let me know what yall think about this

Replace the torsion bar keys is a better way than just cranking up the stock keys.

that would be awesome if you could post pics. Im just not liking the look of my truck now that i got the toolbox with lights and whips on it. Also i got the front marker tail lights and grille all blacked out. Its starting to look like a BAMF:D If i can get the front end up standing taller i would be effing happy...
