How much can i reindex/crank my torsion bars for lift without too many problems?
I am looking into the 2wd leaf swap in the rear which from reading looks as though i will get 3-4" of lift. Can i level the front or atleast close to level? Or should i just do a add a leaf or shackle for approx 2" lift?

You can get about an inch and a half or so while still using stock upper control arms. Add another inch to that with aftermarket arms.

I have leveled it already with the rear but im on stock wore out leafs so far.
Think i have much more adjustment left?

How much space do you have between your upper control arms and the bumpstop underneath it? You should be able to squeeze a finger in there.

Hmmm havn't looked. I'll check today. It still rides smooth though.

You are not really adding any lift to the suspension that way. You are just making it ride higher in the travel.

To answer your question, 2" is about all you will be able to get from the stock UCA. At that there was a pile of shims on mine to get it alinged. I also had to use longer bolts. It was not worth it in hind site.

If you want to keep your truck within factory alignment specs the max amount of lift you'll get is 2-2.5" of lift with after market uca's.

I would not crank up the t-bras on stock uca. It will be a major pain to align.

I would go with a/c 3 add-a-leafs out back, rough country or supperlift uca's up front.

If you have nice expensive tires on your truck I stress the importance of keeping the alignment good.

If you mean when the truck is on the ground i have lots of room still. Im probly just at stock height now as the truck was pretty low in the front when i got it. Its about 1/2" lower than the rear right now and i know my rear springs are sagged.

How do the add a leafs compare to the 2wd spring swap?
