Hi All,
I just received my ReadyLift Leveling kit and I should be ready to install this weekend on my 04 Z71. I have a few questions you guys may be able to help me out with as I have never done this type of job before. I am pretty familiar with what I need to do, and I have tinkered with torsion bars before. However, I noticed something yesterday when I was installing my steering stabilizer. On the driver side, my torsion key is maxed out. I can not tighten the adjustment bolt any further. On the passenger side, it is almost the complete opposite. My truck does not sit higher on the driver side or anything. (Not that I can tell anyways), and it has not always been like that. Before I had the shop reset them, I played around with them because my driver side front WAS higher than the rest of the vehicle. But once the shop adjusted them, I have not touched them. All seems well. When I spoke to ready lift on the phone, they told me that I may have a saggy torsion bar. But they said to install the kit anyways, and possible reset the keys. Any idea how that is done? Any tips on what I may or may not need to get this installed? He said even if I had a saggy bar, I could still install the kit, I just would not be able to get the 2.5 inch lift I'm looking to get out of it. Any help is appreciated. Ask all the questions you want and I will do my best to give you all the info you need. The kit seems easy enough to install on the front and the spacers on the back. Has anyone else has torsion bar issues before? Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you need any photos, I can take some when I get home from work tonight.
