Cranked the keys. Six turns each side. Got me 1/2", front sits at 32 1/2" each side, but those damn bump stops are still squashed. View attachment 78945 View attachment 78946 View attachment 78947 View attachment 78949
You need to keep cranking the keys up. It doesn't look like you got anything close to 1/2" (it probably settled back down) and you seriously need to get some of the pressure off those jounce stops. I doubt your torsion bars are doing much, looks like the jounce stops are doing it all and that's got to be a bad ride. I wouldn't fix the swaybar end links until you get it riding right so you can get the ride height set first then measure for the end links. Still rides like crap I bet, doesn't it?

I like the current rims better too. Nobody said staying fresh and clean was easy lol
I too like the current ones. I'm a fan of deep dished wheels. If they both were then maybe the new ones. Multi spoked wheels are a pain to keep clean..

Side note: Maguire`s hot rims can make cleaning chrome wheels a breeze. The acid based version works well but do not leave it on for more than 15 seconds...literally..

I jacked it up, used Jack stands, let it rest on the stands then cranked rack adjusting but the same amount of time on each side, let it down, took it for a ride around the block, then measured it again. I did that three separate times. Doing all that got me 1/2" out of it. I'm sure it still rides like crap. I didn't want to crank it up too much, I like a little bit of rake to it.

I don't think I've seen used ones for sale ever, they're too hard to install that they never come back off. Unless the truck gets totaled I guess. Good luck though @Tonyrodz !
