tire height

yea....thats what i was looking for when i bought my rims and tires. there like 33...32in. in height. was biggest if i remember right with lt275/70/r17

about raising front torsions.......arent we suppose to just mark or watch how many turns is done on screw to one side and repeat on other side. instead of lifting and dropping to see if even?

thats a better way to do it but check the ride height on both sides before and after. if there is a difference before you start make sure you have that difference when your done. ive lifted and then lowered my '00 exp and have had no problems. i also have the air ride so the rear was easy.

after market companies recomend that the stress on the torsion key is to hig and it could break but i have a few friends that have trail only trucks and havnt had a problem with tightening the hell out of the bars. so i doubt you will on the road.

also
