on a 97 blazer to turn the tbars is there some sort of key needed for this?

thanks guys. and i forgot to add the question of how many turns will i need to lift the truck 1 to 1.5 in?

 

No, just a normal wrench. Clockwise for lift, counterclockwise for dropping the front.

"Keys" are the parts that are connected to the tbar. When you turn the bolt, it presses on the key and that changes the tbar setting.

 

That's the bolt you need to tighten. I used a paint pen to mark the bolt so I knew how many turns I had gone in case I ever wanted to return to stock.

 

Here is a picture of what you will be looking at when you are laying under your truck.
