ive bought and fitted 265 75 16 tyres knowing there 1/2inch bigger than the chart on here shows for no lift!,ive trimmed the inner splash guard and it dosent rub when driving on the road ,but i do intend going offroading soon and want to do the torsion twist at the front,i do have 2 questions how many turns of the adjuster bolt do you recommend to get the 2"lift,and 2nd is due to the high cost of postage to england i cant afford the rear shackle lift just yet and was wondering if the self levelling would bring the rear up to match the front (and im guessing it wont )would there be any problems running with the front jacked higher than the rear for a couple of weeks ?thanks in advance richard:thumbsup:
 






Everyone's truck is different on the amount of turns need to do a tt. Some have also found they needed to buy longer bolts in order to get the full 2 inch. As far as the front being higher then the front i am not sure if that would be alright to run like that. I think it should be but i would wait and see what others say. I will say though it looks kinda of goofy with the front jacked up higher then the rear. I just did a tt and shackles so i have seen it. Plus it didnt help any that my rear end already sat 1/2 inch lower then my front stock.
 






ok thanks for reply ,i heard it was around 2 complete rotations ?,i have a lot of thread to play with so i guess there the long ones? i will wait till i can get the rear shackles before i raise the front,thanks again richard
