I just put 3/4 ton heavy duty leaf springs on my k1500,and i was wondering if i could raise the torsion bars an 1'' to 1 1/2 to match the back with out screwing anything up. >I just put 3/4 ton heavy duty leaf springs on my k1500,and i was wondering >if > i could raise the torsion bars an 1'' to 1 1/2 to match the back with out > screwing anything up. The front end will have to be re-aligned if you raise or lower the torsion bars. Ian HEY!! Good to see you back Dude!

I have no idea...that will be up to you. Ian >do you think i would have to up grade to a more hey duty shock too or no. Not manditory. You will be close to suspension top though so hard may be harsh ans jerk on bumpy roads when suspension tops out. ALso bear in mind that you still have a weak rear axle and that if you try to use springs to fullest, you will overload rear axle assembly. BTW, if you have used the spring from a 88 thru 99 1500, they would have been stiffer as well and you could have simply added a leaf to original spring stack too. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com >>do you think i would have to up grade to a more hey duty shock too or no. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ----------------- > TheSnoMan.com Believe him on the topping out. We raise our front a couple a turns in the winter to help compensate for the plow. When we take the plow off it will top out going over hills... |
