does my truck or shall i ask, should my truck have springs up front? looking through different threads and i see some of my body style trucks are lowered with lowering springs??
Nope. On the 4X4s, the torsion bars are your front springs. Hence turning the keys to adjust tension and therefore raise or lower the front end. Only the 2WDs had coil springs up front.
thanks
thanks for pic. well i picked up some 20 inch wheels. wheels on truck i bought were 16 with monster tires that were all cracked up from sitting. 230 5 wheels and tires not bad in my book. i got under the truck and turned the torsion keys a few time to try and see if it would lower truck a bit up front.- after only a few turns- it got real easy. almost felt like the bolt was coming free- so i put it back where it was, and i guess ill look for some spindles or another way to get the front down.
after putting new wheels on i took it for a quick wash. and noticed water dripping in my trunk at car wash. did notice- not till after i purchased the truck and got it home- that under a mat in the back, the rug is discolored and damp- so i guess i got a leak
keep pics and info coming please.
also- is there way to know if the previous owner put a leveling kit on the truck ??? not sure if its at stock height or not
but with the 20s- about 4 1/4 front fender to tire- all the way around.
not sure how to post pics - so when i figure it out, i will post my truck before and now.

i believe the only leveling kit someone would have installed would be larger shackles
Also if you want clearance and do not want your rear end just bouncing anytime you run over a crack i would suggest running the c notch. as of now i am not running a cnotch and and my fifth wheel hitch would smack my rear diff if it could.
