quick question off of this one, how many times do you have to turn the bolts to get an inch or so of lift? and dont you need to get an alignment after?

1 full turn is supposed to yield .25' of lift.
Depends on a few other factors though, a few people have gotten an inch out of 3 turns..Me with my brush guard up front took 5 turns to get an inch.
And definitely get an alignment afterwards.

Stupid question, but do you have to have the vehicle off the ground to adjust the t-bars?

not a stupid question. and you only have to have the front suspension off the ground, for the side you were doing, or just both at the same time.

yes... I believe that the back is 1 inch higher than the front..

Mine looks like the back is actually lower than the front. The new shackles should take care of that though.

I went to napa yesterday and asked for the pricing on shackles. The guy looked but said he didnt think thay liked them on vehicles anymore becuase they swayed. Im still gonna put them. Just wonderin about that.
