front end raising, torsion bars clockwise?
 

Ihave a 1996 K2500 4X4 Suburban and wanted to level out the front end (sits low) Do I adjust the torsion bars clockwise to raise it? Thanks

Tightening thekeys (clockwise) raises the torsion bars. It'll take a 18mm wrench/socket[/align][/align]Be wary of t-bar lifts. If you lift it too high, you can damage the CV boots and put extra wear on the CV joints over time. Also a t-bar lift will typically dramatically decrease the ride quality.[/align]

The keys are located at the rear of the torsion bar?

The 'keys' (bolts) are located on the crossmemeber on the middle of the frame.[/align][/align]Sorry for the crappy pic, but here is what I'm talking about. Pic is from the drivers side.[/align]Attachment 15827[/align][/align][/align]

Thanks for the info! The Haynes repair manual wasn't clear enough about the adjustment of the torsion bars.

Adjusted torsion keys 6 turns and it has pretty well leveled out the SUB. Sittin' pretty now! Thanks for the info EuroGoldLS! The prior owner must have done a lot of trailer pulling. The bolts were hanging down from the cross members almost an inch! It was ready for Talladega!

You sir, are welcome! The t-bar keys in the pic above are adjusted a pretty good little bit ;)

I've heard adjusting the T-bars on a 5-10 year old truck is bad cause you can snap the T'bar right in two while you're going down the road.So would I be able to do this on my 92' Silverado or 94' Silverado and be ok?I don't want to torque them way up.I just want to level my truck out a little bit.Think this would be ok?
