For now, I'll just get my 3/4 ton T-Bars installed and see what I can get done with them...the stiffer Tbars might be enough to keep my fender rub down. Thanks for everything though guys!

Update! Crawled under it yesterday to see if I could crank the current bars up to level, and they are both nearly cranked all the way! haha that with 26" drivers side fender height and 25" passenger side height. My t-bars are definitely shot! Guess I should get the 3/4 ones shoved under it sooner, rather than later.

Got the 3/4 ton bars free, so gonna use them. Got lucky and my auto-shop at school had the t-bar tool to back off the keys, so I got the tension off of them, but I couldn't get the tbars to move. Ended up unbolting the tbar crossmember from the frame and pulling back on it and both bars popped right out of the control arms, so now they're just froze up in the keys. Have them soaking in PB Blaster overnight, and will try beating them out tomorrow after school. If that doesn't work I'll drop the tranny crossmember and pull the bars and crossmember out as one piece, and use our big press at school to knock them out. Guess my truck is out of commission for a while, which I don't mind, cause I get to drive my grandpas project car until I get the truck put back together, which is a 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk haha

Don't have a torch anymore wish I did, as right now I've also got a broken off exhaust manifold bolt stuck in my right head. Will definitely resort to heat if the press doesn't work, but it should. And I'm not just swapping the 3/4 ton tbars to get it to crank more evenly, as I originally got them almost a year ago just because I wanted some heavier ones, and they were free.

Got the bars swapped! Gotta love PB Blaster! Unfortunately, the rotation arrows were worn off of the ends of them, so there's a 50/50 chance that they are in backwards but it rides smoothly, and it's level now. Turned out great! Sitting at 37" fender height on both sides.
