I'm wondering can i lift my trucks front end 2 inches with the stock T-Keys or do i really need to order new ones..i hope i dont lol i priced them out...This is on well a 93 Z71

 

YES!!!! I have a 1993 k1500 sierra. Just raised mine 2 inches with stock torsion key. Threw the tires off a bit but I put on p285 tires and corrected the toe in a bottom. Noone can tell why stores are selling new keys from 150 to 400 dollars when you already have one. You will need a 18mm deep socket and each complete turn is around 1/4 inch.

 

Cool thanks man...How many turns do i need for 2"..my buddy said about 3 and a half...im new to the IFS setup im used to solid axles...

 

Eight should do it. Mark the bolt head and crossmember with a crayon or marker to make sure you get complete turns. Double ckeck with ruler from center of hub to top of fender well. I evened mine to the same as back but after looking at it the front may be 1/4-1/8 inch lower. Getting ready to remedy that with Monroe air shocks to be sure. Each complete turn is about 1/4 rise in height. Took me longer to jack up the truck than get those two inches.

 

I just saw your pics on another thread. You need to lift that front end. I would be surprised if you did not have a rubbing issue under there.

 

Yeah i had issues at first had to notch my bumper and roll my fenders back some..No biggie now that im lifting it i can get new fenders they got some small rust anyways and i have another bumper so no biggie...got this IFS is confusing lol im used to Solid axle...i dont quite understand your explanation..wish there was a pictured write up LOL

 

Sorry about pics. I'm technologically hampered. Jack up truck so tires are off ground. Follow the torsion bar back to the cross member thats at the back off cab. You should see torsion the key inside that with a bolt sticking out are.(both sides). Those are the bolts that will give you more height. Mark them and you will get 1/4" lift with each complete turn.clockwise!

 

Cool thanks man i knew about the location how they work ect ect just not how to raise them...Thank you

 

The stock keys wont level it but it will be pretty damn close. I got Zone Offroad keys for $115 but they are a bitch to put in if you havent taken yours out before.
