I have an early 07 crewcab and lowered it using the McGaugaughys 2/4 kit, which was drop spindles in front and leafs in back. Well I wanted to go lower so I removed the stock blocks in back and now Im sitting a little over an inch lower in back than i am in the front. The front suspension is a torsion bar setup. I know you can loosen these to lower front, but will I get what I need to level it out? Also, approximately how many turns will I go? I went from 20's to 22's and love the look of rear now since I removed block. I also had to trim the rubber stops. Any help is appreciated. How do I go about loosening the front torsion bolts?

 

any help is appreciated really cant drive it at night time like this, lol

 

No one has done this or can help, lol?

 

Jack your truck up on stands. Look at the crossmember where the torsion bars are located under the cab. You should see an adjuster bolt for each torsion bar key. Unwind them each the same number of turns, then drive around for awhile. If it doesnt come down enough, unwind some more. If the truck feels too bouncy, or the suspension feels too soft, you'll want to get lowering keys. You said you took the blocks out of the back, is your truck a 4wd?

 

no its 2wd, it came with factory 20's , for some reason it sat high for a 2wd so did a 2/4 and still wasnt low enough so I removed the blocks in rear which i thought would only lower and inch but it lower around 2 almost. I had to cut the rubber bump stops

 

I hear you dont have to jack truck up to loosen the bolts is this true, or does it help to?

 

You probably don't have to if you can get to the adjuster bolts. I'm built on the wide side, so I would. You can remove the stock bumpstop/bracket, its bolted in. Then get a short, button type, bumpstop. I think most parts places can get them, or summit, jegs, etc.

 

You want to jack the truck up to take the load off of the keys. I would not risk damaging the threads with the weight of the truck. Spray the bolts with lubricant too.

 

Thanks for the help I will try that tonight with jacking it up. Anyone no approximate amount of turns?

 

Also , will I get the desired amount of drop?I need about an inch
