Do you wanna drop the back or lift the frt? Parts are available for both. BTW are we talking 2wd or 4wd?

I have an '03 4x4 that I'd like to lift the front to level it out but I can't find any leveling kits. So I'm interested in this topic. Also I've heard about using overload springs to raise the truck. Will this work? If so how much lift will it give and does it make the ride really rough?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Don

Just crank the torsion bars on a 4x4.

Whether using a leveling kit or if you crank your torsion bars...just remember to get an alignment afterwards.

what you need is the torsion key ways.....either way you will need an alignment when your done.....you can lift the front without getting the new keyways also.....the new key ways just put the torsion bar at a differnent angel to put less stress on them.....either way your putting more stess on them with the new ones or the stock ones....i've recently put a 3 inch body lift on my truck with 305/70/16s and i did not level the truck yet and i'm not sure i want to.....for me when i'm hauling my snowmobile trailer or the motorcycles i'd have the back end sitting lower than the front end and i think that would look weirder than having the front lower than the back....


you can find the new keyways on ebay but others have posted where you can find them also.....good luck
