I've already maxed out my stock bolts (only got about 1.25" on driver side), so I bought the longer bolts, and read the guides about torsion twist...
My only question is: when you take out the old bolts and install the new ones, do you have the front end jacked up, or are the tires on the ground? I never saw this covered in any of the guides, and don't want to screw anything up. Thanks guys :thumbsup:
 






Front tires should be unloaded, and OFF the ground. If available, use a six point 13mm short socket.
You may have to drop, drive, and relift several times to "settle" the suspension to get both sides even.
Almost certain a front wheel alignment will be needed. Call around for a free check. Sears, Goodyear, etc. GL
