he guys i first lowered my truck(2in blocks in rear, torsion bolts all the way out) i didnt like it... so i got the shackles and i put the bolts back in... the rear sits about 3/4's in higher then the front... i have about a 1/4 more to go on the bolts, if i go that more will i f**k anything up with the shafts?? id like the truck to sit only a 1/4 lower in the front if not level( i am gunna do a 3in b/l and 33-12.50's latter on) ps i didnt put the AAL in yet b/c of the rear sitin high right now....

do the torsion bolts go ALL the way in? what if i got laonger bolts?? again i do want any binding...
 






Wait wait, you put 2" blocks in, didn't like it, so you added shackles rather than remove the blocks? If so, your pinion angle is all bent outta shape.
 






no no i did but then the next mor. i took the bolcks out.....
 






ps im also now gettin a nosie(howlin/sceakin comin from the left front only under full lock???
 






you can crank the torsion bolts as far as you want... but since you messed with the suspension get an alignment.
 






im guessing your 2wd so yes you can crank the torsion bars as high as you like
 






nope AWD
 






you should not lower/lift your truck more than 2" with a torsion twist if you have a front driveline
 






sorry im an idiot and didnt see your AWD in capitol lettors in your sig, do what jimabean said and crank it no more than 2" from stock height
