Enjoyed your video. You stated a 1" difference in height, side to side that you attribute to shocks.
Shocks will not affect ride height, unless they are air assist.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

+EGGINFOOLS The adjustment bolt setting is going to be where you are looking for the ride height to be and what is comfortable for you as far as ride quality. Play with different set ups to see what works for you.

This is the kit I will be installing this spring nice video, curious on off set of the 20x9 sota wheels.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Good video and informative. One question though. When I bought my truck I think the previous owner had already cranked the bars. Your indexing bolt was flush with the cross member, should I just make mine flush too or index it to the same spot with the new key installed? I can't measure. I decided to level the truck after I had it up taking the transmission out and the front end apart.

[@heberclementiii6788]

Thanks for the video. This kit seems like the one to go with. One question I have is after that much of a life how much room does the upper control arm have ? Is ride quality the same . Also those shocks are they just as stiff as factory or more ?I would not like a softer ride . Like the factory ride or a little stiffer is fine .
Thanks
Heber

Wow my stock 15 is too stiff

[@heberclementiii6788]

Hi just wanted to check and see if you received my prior comment?

[@jeffl6241]

I've tried twice now to install this on my 2011 2500 HD Duramax and can't for the life of me get the torsion bar to move to remove the old keys. I've soaked everything in ATF every day for a week leading up to trying, I've tried with the truck up in the air, and incrementally lowered it to see if that took enough pressure off. I'm hesitant to take a torch to it but that's the only thing I've yet to do. Any suggestions?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

We used to see a lot of rough torsion bars. One thing we have done is take bar stock and milled it to the same size as the “access” hole, using it as a punch and hitting it with a sledgehammer. Good luck!

[@NorteLiviNX4]

Will it make a difference for the upper control arms if you put a bigger wheel and tire because right now I have the stock tire and wheels and the upper control arm is a 1/4 away from the bump stops and it is not fully level with the rear I still need a full inch to be level will the bigger tires and wheels make the difference?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Is this on a stock set up? Changing wheels and tires on the truck will not change the rake.

[@NorteLiviNX4]

+Thoroughbred Diesel yes all of it is stock is there something else I can do to get that extra inch

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You will want to move into a set of leveling keys, such as the one in this video.

[@NorteLiviNX4]

+Thoroughbred Diesel ok I will give it a shot thank you for the information

[@IsaiahnElenafr]

I have a 2013 crew cab 6.0L unleaded. How much would a kit like this cost me?
