Got a like from Chris!! So much respect for you, inspires me to work hard at what I'm passionate for... Have a great night and stay warm! It's cold in Jersey tonight 😅
I drive mine every day and use her offroad occasionally (you can watch my offroad videos "OFF ROAD in my Ford Ranger (Mazda B3000)") and it is still good after 20k miles. I didnt turn them all the way as you saw in the video so it isnt maxed. As long as you do what was done in the video you should be fine. Obviously, any time you touch something like this, you could break something if it is weak already so...
you probably will not see this comment but I want to do this to my truck and after around 8 years of driving your truck have you had any problems yet with it from cranking the t bar.
Nice! They are great trucks! You will realize this once you own one. The utility of this truck is amazing... Offroad, towing, loading stuff in the bed, etc! The only downside is fuel economy but its not the end of the world!
+BackinOrbit, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you see this. If you lift just the front tires, you will throw off the alighment and make your suv handle off on the highway. Plus, it might look funny if it isnt level.
I like these older videos; they're very informative. Good job on the changes to your level of enthusiasm and pacing in your newer videos. I can tell you've put some work in to the quality of your videos since these days.
TheWolverine0657 the reason trucks sit lower in the front from the factory is not for towing reasons it's for fuel mileage and better aerodynamics and older trucks sit lower from suspension sag and worn out parts
@@lukemain4222 the back on every truck is lifted more then the front and that is for when you tow stuff then the truck isnt sagging lower then the front and it will just look leveled out, you could do an easy body lift just kind of have to put a bigger spacer under the body and it will be bigger im gonna be doing to things to my truck real soon, you can find videos on it everywhere
You can do it a few ways. On my truck it was already lifted from the factory so lifting the front balanced it out (this is the case on most factory lifted trucks). One way to lift the rear is to add an extra leaf to the leaf springs. This is typically more complicated. So the easier way is to add a block (aka spacer) between the leaf springs and where the leaf spring rests on the rear differential. They sell them and they are relatively cheap.
Do you have a specific brand or material? Some companies are switching to aluminum but im not sure the long term turn out would be. Because of the shipping problems in getting steel into the country. Or just say f it and go with rough country and save all the headache lol watched your leaf spring video. So you answered my question.
I hit send and I didn't mean to I had more to say I actually had to dial down what I did with the torsion bars so that the truck could be aligned properly and then he warned me that it was stressing out my u-joints my dog bones and everything else
At 1:29 "huh" that had me laughing. I think it's the first time I've seen you accidentally use humor in your videos. I think you should add a lil more humor to your videos. Like a small gimmick. Btw your videos have helped allot.
san5981 thats what normally comes in a vehicles tire replacement kit, On my truck specifically there is a long rod with a hook that you twist and it pushes it up
nothing... I drive this truck every day and the more you lift it, the more stress is on the CV joints in the front axle. Plus for offroading you want to have some suspension travel
He still drives it and hasn’t done a repair video on the CV joints. Anytime something new breaks on his cars he makes it into a video. So pretty well so far then.
I have a 98 ford explorer what is sitting on the same frame and everything as these mazda trucks and ford rangers and I'm sure this t bar lift was prb bby barely even bringing it back to stock height. My explorer is untouched ride height wise and I still have angle in the CV joints
Hey Chris, can't begin to tell you how much your videos haves helped me out. So, it's been a while since you cranked your T bars, any damage to the CVs or any other suspension issues? I have a 2011 ranger and have been thinking about doing this, but I don't want to damage anything... Have you been off-roading after the crank? Notice any change? Thanks man
Lauren T P well i cranked the torsion bar on my 2002 chevy silverado years ago and so far i haven't had any problems. Been offroading, caught some air at the sand dunes and even a cross country road trip. So i would say its safe to crank yours.
I cranked the T-bars on my 99 dakota, and had a 4 wheel alighment and new tires shortly after. 10k miles later, no abnormal wear on the tires. I have had to replace both CV shafts, and wheel hub assemblies, but at 220,000 hard miles thats normal.
Dude, Ford made/owned Mazda. This is exactly the same as the Ranger. Built in Edison, NJ with the Ranger. The only difference is a few body panels and the badges. You sound like a moron when you say stuff that you dont know. So saying the B3000 sucks is saying the Ranger sucks, idiot.
Dude, you sound like a moron. The B series is the Ranger. Ford owned Mazda and yes, this is exactly the ranger. Every part of the car has a ford stamp on it and it was made in the Edison plant right with the Ranger. Same engine too. How old are you? 12
Definitely which is why you only crank the bars a few times. The small lift it gives isnt enough stress to really do anything. Mine is a daily driver so I cant put a lot of stress on the suspension.
I will speed up ware of your torsion bars and cv joints but that is it. You need an alignment to prevent tire wear. I only did a small lift so it wont do much as for wear and tear...
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe The reason why the front is always lower than the rear is comes in to factor I believe when you have something in tow it's to keep the front end towards the ground so that way when whatever you're towing is on the back it levels out the truck
i dont think he tows much stuff with this truck... i think the max weight it can even tow is about 1000 pounds lol so its pretty much pointless to tow with this truck anyways
@@frankybrown9273 2001 towing capacity: B3000 4x4 is 1500?

Of course none of these ratings take into account the "Off-Road" package (or whatever Mazda is calling it) that gives it the 3" factory lift and 16" alloy wheels.
Do you have torsion bars? Go look under the truck. I clearly show them in the video. The rear is on blocks from the factory. You can add them easily if you dont already have.
all the blocks do is fit between your rear axle and leaf springs. It is the easiest way to lift a truck. Just gotta be careful. Lifting your explorer might sound like a good idea, but if you dont know what you are doing, you can really get hurt or even killed... Do some more research on the explorer forums.
ChrisFix awsome thanks for replying. A lot of you tubers with only like 100k won't even read their comments but you with 1.5 million still do it 😂thanks 👍🏼
Also worth mentioning, under no circumstances should you lower a IFS vehicle without proper mods done, my 01 Explorer always sat level, and ate CV axles, I found recently that, in comparison to the wrecked 99, it was lowered 2 inches in the front, I put the front end back stock, and it hasn't needed any more axles, and it drives a lot better and looks a ton better, besides that, room for 31s, it's a solid win
Does the explorer have torsion bars? If so, do this lift for the front. Is the rear end on leaf springs? If so, you can buy these shackles (blocks) that lift it and they are typically cheap. To give you an idea, my truck has 31s on it. I would think twice before you get bigger tires because then your speedometer will be off and you could easily be speeding when you dont mean to.

It was lifted from the factory but all it is are spacers. They are metal blocks that bolt onto the leaf springs and then connect them to the frame. Really easy to do. Just jack the car up, unbolt the leaf springs, add the blocks, bolt them back in.

nice video. But let me correct ya. you did everything correctly. but.. should make sure the tires are the right size. And treads are about the same, left to right. on the front. check air pressure, make sure the psi are equall then take measurement. And when you adjust the tordions. you want to be the same height right to left, or left to right. you don't have to make equal adjustments. Your goal is to raise the front end. and level it so your not sagging on one or the other side. best way is to crank on torsions. get it raised where you want it, and at the same time, keep it the same height from left to right, or vise versa. And if you want to get picky. then you can crank the driver side torsion a bit higher than the passenger side to compensate for driver weight. when you have a heavier driver, it will help. but it only takes about 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher. at the most.ans get the alignment done, right away.
@ chris waldrop... sounds like your a douche bag. Due to the fact that I was only tring to help. being that I have done sterring and suspension, for over 20 years.

And if you want to get picky. then you can crank the driver side torsion a bit higher than the passenger side to compensate for driver weight. when you have a heavier driver, it will help. but it only takes about 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher. at the most.ans get the alignment done, right away.
@ chris waldrop... sounds like your a douche bag. Due to the fact that I was only tring to help. being that I have done sterring and suspension, for over 20 years. So when it comes to that, yes I do know my shit. seems to me that, you are on here trolling, cause, you ain't got nothin better to do or say. word of advice. key board warrior.... go slap your momma, cause apperently she never told you, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say shit. plus, it's called the comment section, for people like me, who knows a little something. And would like to help out , or put my two cents in for what it's worth. so have a nice day. douche bag.
Chris Waldrop .. u suck. read my reply, on my comment.
I doubt Chris needed any of your help
@@joerodriquez1191 Hi I have a question, I installed some bilstein 6112 leveling shocks on my 2018 nissan frontier set them up to the highest setting. I noticed that the driver side is about a quarter of an inch lower on the driver side, is this normal ?
Is it on blocks already like this truck in the video (from the factory)? If so, just remove the blocks.
So this is only a good idea if you plan on getting new tires soon right?
only if they are more worn on the inside than outside
+Liquid.Song But a new tire wouldnt be worn at all
+BillyBozen or if you do the responsible thing and get an alignment before you do anything else
+BillyBozen he doesn't mean the new tires, he means the old tires before you get new ones
now that I think about it, isnt the gas tank on the drivers side?
Sounded bored af doing this video ......
It's an older video.
Gotcha... Do you know how to calibrate the speedometer if you dont want it off?
Will this work on a 2000 ford ranger that's 2wd?
No, you have coil springs in the front end on a 2wd
Wait, so there's no free 1.5 inch lift for 2wd trucks?? :'((((( (I have a 2001 f150 2wd)
at 2:28 you can see the torsion bars. Does your truck have these bars?
So now when you put something heavy in the back it will look like it's "squatting".
Jackle61 If you put something heavy in the back, you wont be riding with all of that weight too long anyway. I had 2000lbs of rock back there and it it was only squatting a little.
Wtf this is chris fix?! He has come a long way. I was about to tell him that's not a ratchet it's a socket and those are not nuts they're bolts.
This was way before I make everything as good as possible but I think you still get the idea from this video lol
It's a truck, not a car
yep
Sorry man, just a pet peeve of mine
lol, it's ok. It is just something you get use to saying. It got the point across and people can watch the video and learn how to lift their truck a little.
I was just bored on here so I was checking it out, I drive a big truck so no lift necessary lol..nice video though man
Thanks! What truck?
Only if you are getting an alignment.
Do you even lift???
