Not so sure I want to do the torsion bar twist method. Would feel betetr about a leveling kit or similar. It's an AWD 4.6 and the front is easily a couple inches lower than the rest. Looking for a good stance with the addition of better tires soon. Any help would be great as far as links and maybe prices. I may could install myself if not to difficult. Any ideas?

if u have a 4dr, u dont have torsion bars... u have 4 wheel independent suspension with struts all around... the only way to lift/level is to buy larger springs
 






Yeah it is a 2003 4dr. I forgot about the whole independent suspension. Where would I purchase the springs and is it expensive? How difficult is the job? I am guessing I would need an alignment?
 






It's about a 6 hour job....I've done it twice. I'm lowered with ground force springs. You will need a spring compressor to complete the job....you can rent one from Autozone. And yes, you will need an alignment when finished

u can order custom springs from coilsprings.com at about 80 bucks a spring which may sound expensive but there is nothing else out there... so double digits for one spring vs triple digits for a custom job seems like a pretty good deal... i got 2 inch springs up front for 160 and 20 bucks shipping to baton rouge, LA... if u want pics let me know
 






Hey... sweet... another Fairbanks member... sorta... WHat's up!?
