Would like 1-1.5" more height in the front

[mitchn06]

So taking my stock 2005 and doing suspension/wheels/tires, I'm still a bit low in the front. I would like a bit more. Starting out at 35in front and 36.5 rear, I added bilstein 5100s all the way around, moog HD rear springs in the rear, torsion bars cranked up (left 1/4in bolt hanging) 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers, I'm now sitting at 37 in the front and 39 in the rear. Is my only option at this point to get different keys? Are my T-bars possibly worn out? I do know I raised the back a bit with the new springs, but figured I could compensate with cranking the torsion bars, no dice.

Did you ever put lift keys in it or just crank stocks?

I only cranked the stock ones. I just don't want to overdo it and have front end parts that need replaced every 2-5 years.

Put lift keys and crank some. Get 5100 shocks. Level fenders and drive. No need that parts wear out fast at your height.

I'm in the same boat right now. I cranked my torsion bar to where there are only a few threads showing and it rides too stiff for my liking (and it's still probably only stock height). I also have belltech sp shocks on since I was previously lowered. I went ahead and ordered the Bilstein 5100s last night for the front. From my reading, they should give a little lift from stock without the torsion bar adjustment. I'll post results once installed.

I've never seen a red LT, only LS's. I dig it!
