Trying to level out the Previous Owners mistake

[Zs_Silverado]

I'll keep it short and sweet. Just picked up a 1993 Silverado. Previous owner added a leaf to the rear but didn't do anything to the front of the truck so it has a weird uneven stance. I've read you can crank your torsion keys slightly, so more or less my question is, how much would I need to crank to get it up just one inch? I've read that it's hard to estimate it because everyone's truck is different, I just really don't wanna f*** anything up, as I've also read that you can do some serious damage to the truck if you crank it too much.

I'd just take the add a leaf out of the rear if you don't plan on lifting any and yes cranking can get dangerous

I'm gonna lift, but it'll be later down the road. Since it's a 2WD it won't be anything crazy, maybe just an RC 2" Lift. I'd like to get a height sort of like the truck in your signature. Looks great!

Being a 2wd 1500 , you don't have torsion bars to crank. You could use a lift coil, spacer, or spindle.

I'm on tapatalk is my signature the black gmc? And lift wise on a 2wd from my understanding spindles are the way to go

Really? I was unaware. I'm seeing all this stuff about cranking the torsion bars up and didn't even realize I wasn't included. Lol

 

[Zs_Silverado]

And yes, the black GMC. Haha

Well then that's a k2500 6 lug cranked with stock suspension on the rear with 33s and thank you. I miss that truck sometimes haha. But yeah torsion bars are for the 4wd models. 2wd's have a rake to them stock
