if i cranked the t bar so i got 1 inch of lift would 30x9.5 ties still be the biggest for a stock 96 blazer 2wd? i heard of problems with your suspension if u crank the t bar. what things would u half to do to not wear out the front suspension? thanks

Um, correct me if i wrong anybody but i thought the 2WD blazers didnt have torsion bars but rather coil springs???? Any confirmation on that??

its beyond me but thanks for the reply i will go and look into it

hahahaha!! What t-bars areyou cranking?? I don't think you got any lift out of it whatever you cranked!

I wish the 2wds had t-bar suspensions. I could lower it without springs.

Brent, he was asking if he were to do that, not that he has already. Sounded like ya might have got that confused. Anyways ona factory 2wd blazer you should be able to get 30x9.5 r15's on there with no rubbing on the stock suspension. If you want a little bigger tires or just more clearance, fabtech makes a lift spindle that i believe replaces the front knuckles and gets you about 2-3" of lift.

****right fabtech all the way. easy on easy off knuckle replacement. nice lift too.

Sorry, I'm a dumb ***!! Overlooked the "if". So easy to do when you don't have your reading glasses on.

Guys, I know the words you posted are not considered bad cuss words by most people... but IMO swearing is swearing no matter how you look at it... try to keep it as family oriented as possible.....

Thanks,

i have a 93 4x4 jimmy and there is a torsion bar in the front. i have 31x10.5s on now and it rubs in the front. i already put a 2 inch shackle lift on the rear and i need to lift the front, but how? i heard of cranking the t-bar but i dont have a clue how. i want to get 2 inches on the front to even it out. any suggestions how i can go about with this?

thank you

The t-bar connects to the bottom control arm follow it back to where you will see 2 bolts on the end of the bar. Loosen the back nut and then loosen the inside bolt to create lift in the front. Your going to want to have the front jacked up the do this!!

thanks! i hope it works well

Actually from what I have heard you need to tighten them to get more lift. I don't have personal experience in this area but had been looking at doing it for a while and did quite a bit of research and talking with folks that did. Just send RCars2 or Jigg a pm and they will confirm this, unless they want to post up here.

A simple search using the search function on the forum should lead you to many discussions on this topic and should help answer all your questions. If you still have questions after doing some research then post up your specific questions. Right now just today there are 3 threads going on about cranking the torsion bars. Just giving you some advice, so we don't all have to repost the same info over and over again.

yeah, you definately dont want to loosen the bolts. tightening them will lift you.

just a tip: use the longest socket wrench you can find, and if you have one, use a non-racheting wrench.the bolts can be pretty snug

anyone else have to stop and think what day it is when they wake up and check their email and find yet another 'what size tires on a stock 4dr?!" or "cranking the torsion bars?!" thread from the forum subscriptions?

blows my mind every morning...[8D]

thanks guys, but for some reason, everytime i used search, it never worked. i might need a little help learning how to use it.

oh well,$h!t happens

i tightened the bolts and got about an inch lift for the front. it helped out so much. also, i used an impact socket and a breaker bar and the bolts tightened up with ease. i might lift it a little more tomorrow to get more clearance. thanks again ;)[sm=smiley20.gif]

glad it worked out for you.

understand that this creates premature wear on the suspension and it would be a good idea tohave an alignment doneso you dont wear out those 31's unevenly
