torsion bar lift problem

[250r/master3]

i read about getting about 2 inches of lift by tightening your torsion bars but when i went to do it on my 97 explorer sport one side was already close to max tighten wile the other side had much thread left...over all i only got 1 inch of lift one side maxed out with the other plenty of thread left...is this a problem and how can i fix it.....thanks

from the top of the tire to the wheel well it was 5 inches on both sides starting out and now its 6 on both sides so it is equal

Very common problem, basically what it comes down to is buying longer bolts.

Summit racing has the AAL. They are made by Explorer Pro-Comp & are $31.95

I don't know the part number. Just search Summit Racing's site.

AAL are universal fit by the way. Not custom made for each vehicle.

the part number is EXP-13120 on Summit

You could also go with some shackles instead.

does anyone know where to get the extended bolts from?

You might try indexing the low side torsion key down a notch--

I have heard of them being miss indexed before--usually with the symptom you describe--
Just a thought--
