Default Re: Best place to purchase and install leveling kit in lower mainland

I cranked my Tbars and it just barely leveled my truck, it still sits a little lower in the front but not high enough all around for what i'm looking for. I bought a kit that came with 3" keys, 2" blocks and Ubolts off ebay for 135. Any alignment shop can do it for you, I was looking at kal tire but I've been looking into it and a couple of my buddies have done it themselves. If you've got a free day and a garage with a couple jacks you should be able to do it with a couple of friends

prekey mod is the way to go, get keys off an 07 and down truck as they sit higher from factory.. take the 2.5" block too. youll get a 2" lift for pennys if you do the work yourself.

Prekey.... I did it on my 08 and with a little crank you're level without any negative side effects

What kind of shock are you running and what size?

And if anyone has any idea why my 2009 Ford Ranger FX4 4.0L is leaning to the rear passanger side, front end has no sag just rear passanger side.

You might be able to rent them, a buddy of mine worked at a chev dealer so he kinda kept the chev torson tool so I used that

I wouldn't use a c-clap that's sketchy as fuck

Yeah I did some research at lunch since I never play on the torsion bars, C-clap was an Idea I had after seeing the actual tool upward of $140 online... but after seeing this link I think a 2 jaw puller might do it, just not sure.
