Why can't you crank your tbars? Have you already cranked them all the way up?

I cant crank them because the previous owner must have had some work done on it. so now the bolts are almost in all the way i cant even get 3 turns out of them.

cranking your tbars all the way up will destroy your cv's, any tbar crank will put added stress on the cv's and shorten their life span. unless you have the funds to constantly replace front end parts cranking the tbars all the way up is a horrible idea.

Thats why i dont want to crank the tbars. I guess theres no real way to lift my blazer unless i do a body lift, but i dont like how those look. so basically i either dont lift it at all or get a 5 to6 in. lift which i wont be able to afford for a long time

you can do a 1.5" tbar crank it will cause accelerated wear with the cv's, but its a very common crank and seems to be a happy medium.

looking at your truck from the side... is the front end level with the rear? or is the front lower by ~1". Could be the previous owner has already cranked the T-bars (and would probably be the case if your truck sits level.). If that's the case, I wouldn't touch the T-Bar bolts, if you bottomed them out you're going to go through CV axles like a Peterbilt through a crowd of people.
