Easiest way to get 1"-2" of lift on 98 XLT?

[98 XLT 4x4]

Im thinking of adding an Add-a-leaf on the back of my truck because it sags some and then doing something to the front to level it out. Any idea? Can someone explain the torsion twist that ive heard about?

Pretty much you jsut tighten the torsion bar bolts, you will need an alignment..... Also your ride qaultiy might suffer some.

Also are you 4wd or 2wd? if you are 2wd, make sure you dont lift it more than 2" with the TT(torsion twist) as if you lift it more than 2" it will make the CV's be at an angle they cant handle constantly and you will be blowing them......

common kid, get it straight, if he is 4wd then he can not twist any more than 2" cause of the cv angle. if he is 2wd then he can twist as high as he wants cause there is no cv up front.

just stick to your first gen kid

What about the shocks. If i raise it like 1 1/2" will my shocks be ok or do i need extended ones?

Thanks for catching that Typo, 2wd equals=High as you want but
Higher = Harsher Ride

4wd= 2" Max
