t bars
 
how do you see if your t bars are up too much

RE: t bars
 
If you measure before and after and it is over 1.5" higher after, they are probably "up too much". You can go up to +2" typically with t-bars which have not sagged much, but going higher than 1.5" will cause increased wear on the ball joints and the CV shafts.

Well I guess you are SOL then... LOL









Just need to have some kind sole report on what a "stock" truck measures on height. Having larger tires means you will have to add to the height to account for that.

Not sure if this helps you but this is how you check on a ZR2. Can't say how it works on a non-Z.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see how to measure.

RE: t bars
 
My cv shafts are at such extreme angles that when I droop a tire I get vibrations from the shafts due to the cv knuckles internally banging into each other. In other words in addition to the 2" lift, I have my bars cranked WAY beyond what the cv shafts were designed for... I replace them about every six months. I am getting pretty good at it.
