Alright, i'll see about doing that during my lunch break today. Stay tune..

I have attached the photos.
Driver side from the hub to the bottom of the fender is 22 3/4... Passenger is 23 inch

I have included the 5th photo that i am not sure why there is a hard plastic on it, I am not sure if it's stopping it from raising? i am not sure the name of the part.

Hope someone know the answer for me.

when you bought those new shocks did you buy them for stock height or for lifted applications?

...im gonna take a wild guess and say that your shocks are limiting your front droop, not allowing you to go any higher.

I bought the shocks for lifted, it's 2.25 inch longer than the stock which didn't make any different. :ugh:

Also another question, Is it normal for the left torsion bar to be turned lot more (almost maxed) while the right side didn't turn much with the same result.

 

[Goros]

It can be normal, because our drivers side torsion bar takes more constant weight (gas tank and driver) it tends to fail faster and lose spring rate.

Did you replace the torsion bar on the drivers side?

Also need those heights for all 4 wheels, not just 2. When the front comes up, sometimes the back comes down.

I have replaced the torsion bar on the driver side. It didn't make any different.

I'll measure the rear shortly.

measure all four, also pictures of the truck on a flat surface will help too.

in for the comments. This is actually a really good learning thread.

Im guessing thie OP either figured out the problem or doesnt want help anymore. That stinks, i really wanted to know what his issue was. He said his front right was set at 23in (he meantioned thats after he lowered it 2 in to match the drivers side) and his front left was 22 3/4 and it wouldnt go up any higher. Thats even after he changed shocks and torsion bars. Is it possible that he installed one of the keys backwards? I know when i did my lift i used new keys and becuase I was awake for 36 hours prior to instalation i installed them backwards. Took kme a whole day and night to figure out what i did haha. Well, hopefully ThatIsSoSteve comes back and lets us know what the issue was.

Hey There,
Sorry, I have been busy. I'll have to admit that I have given up because i have took it to two different shop and they couldn't figure out why I couldn't lift my truck after full crank on the driver's side. The passenger can move up and down easy.

The key is not on backward.

One last thing. I am not sure if this is the issue and i can't really remember since its been a while but I jack up the driver side so that the tire will be off the ground to crank it up while the passenger tire is still on the ground then i move it over to the passenger side then crank it up while the driver side tire is still on the ground.
Is that an issue? it doesn't make sense if i could crank up the passenger with no issue but not the driver side? I do remember i hit the pot hole really hard but i am unable to see anything that is bend.

And i spent this kind of money to get it lifted and still want to but i am at the point where i want to order the full lift kit which will cost me about 4k with new rims, tires and etc but i am afraid to do that because that may not solve the driver's side.

Can you remind us what the problem is? You said you can't lift the left side....

What exactly is going on.....

 

[DigEm]

I am going out on a limb here, and say, that the key position on the t bar is wrong from the get go. At some point it was not indexed to the bar properly. I have seen it twice on on a full size and several times on a Taco. Just a thought.

 

[Iceman62]

^^^Good Possibility^^^

The torsion bars do have right & wrong sides and you need to ensure it's set properly in your mounts. Don't know if it's same for all, but mine had marks on the "downward" side to show how they were placed in the torsion sockets at both ends. Make sure both bars are properly set...hope it helps.

I havent' got to it, i gave up. I am wondering if i buy the 4 inch suspension lift kit to see if it will help?

I am also selling volant cold air intake for 3.7.

 

[USNavyColoradoOwner]

How much for the cold air intake?

Loosen the bolts on the upper control arm while adjusting and tighten back up and try to eye ball the adjustment after, if the balljoints maxxed and the upper out of travel, cranking the torsion bar will just start loading up the lower ball joint and not lifting it.
