Default Superlift question

Is the superlift 4" kit 4" before cranking the torsion bars? Or is it 2 inches of lift plus 2" of torsion crank?

4" before cranking..which you don't want to push.

Run the Superlift and call it a day.

Not worth cranking your bars another 2" at that point.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet... except this.

It is 4" prior to cranking your t-bars, you can even 'test' this by measuring your old knuckles and new Superlift knuckles, they are exactly 4" longer.

You can of course get more height in the front by further cranking your t-bars, but it's not recommended. There is an actual equation that Superlift gives you to make sure your torsion bars are in the correct spot.

LCA Crossmember Bolt to ground - Bottom of Knuckle to ground = (Somewhere between 3"-4").

Who is everyone? Cause everyone on here and the majority actually have superlifts on their truck say otherwise.

Like the other super lifted guys have said, the lift is 4". Tbar crank is on top of that. I've got a fairly aggressive tbar crank on top of that (1.5" or so). Wouldn't recommend. Rides like shit. If you want more lift on top the superlift, get a body lift.
