want little more ride height in the front
I put 3/4 ton springs in the rear of my 2000 z71 . my torsion bars in the front are cranked all the way up and the truck is lower in the front , i would need about 2" to 3" in the front to make it sit level , is there any way to do this with out costly lift kits .years ago when (IFS) first came out you could buy aftermarket torsion bars that would give added lift or after market cam adjusters ( i think that's what you call them) any info would be a great help. thanx !

Re: want little more ride height in the front
if you did a serch here youll find that a fix for ride hight on 1500's involved getting the same year tortion bar keys from a F150. However since youve gone to the 3/4 ton springs these may not give you the correction you want. I wonder if you could go to the 3/4 ton F150 keys and get the extra hight you need. Could it be that easy? Things rarily are but you may get lucky. I curios what modl truck did your 3/4 ton springs come from. According to my build sheet my truck came with a heavier spring package than stock and iI'm wondering if its a tru haevy half that i have...JJ

Re: want little more ride height in the front
How much added lift did the 3/4 ton springs give you in the rear? I just ordered a set of springs to raise the front 2.5" to "level" the truck. I still want to raise the rear a little.

Re: want little more ride height in the front
the heavier spings in the rear added about 3 1/2 inches, with 285 75 16 rubber ,the rear wheel well is 39 3/4 from the ground and the front is 36 3/4 with the torsion bars jacked all the way up, i just ordered a leveling kit of ebay that has re-indexed torsion cam blocks these will give you max of 3 inches over stock in the front 60.00 U.S

Re: want little more ride height in the front
Cool, thanks for the info. I havent installed my new springs yet so I'll see where that brings my front end to then start looking for 3/4 ton springs. I dont like the idea of using blocks. With installing the springs in the front, do I still need to replace the torsion cam stuff?
