I'd lift the whole truck, it'd look better and make a more balanced wear/tear ratio from front to back...

 

okvortec-shackles and tbars do lift the whole truck.

shotgunn99- yes 2 inches would be safer than 3inches, but i still think youll have premature wear on ur front end.

 

I never said it didnt? I guess I misunderstood him, sounded to me like he only wanted to lift the front of the truck.

 

Thanks a bunch everyone! ill post pictures once its completed!

 

I thought you already had a suspension lift.... If you dont, then just crank the torsion bars and see how that works for you. I personally like the front a little higher or at least level. You can always add rear shackles later to bring the rear up.

 

ya, i do have new torsion keys and shackles... i just need the tires before i put it all together.

 

If you have aftermarket torsion keys and you got 3" of lift out of them, then you are going to destroy your front end. The most you should ever lift the front end by cranking the torsion bars is 2", and even at that height it still greatly accelerates the wear of all of the front end parts.

 

1.5" on a tbar crank is the safe limit.

 

really helpful thread here. good for newbs like me

 

So, i have a question. I have a 98 BlaZeR2 i cranked up my torsion bars 1.5 to 2 inches roughly (dont worry about part wear, im a parts guy :-) ) can i put only 2 inch shackles in the rear to even it up, or are shocks required as well? and in the case thats all i need, can i fit 32's on stock wheels with that amount of lift?
