Default Tortion bar lift

Hey guys, I was wondering how you do this. If I can lift my f150 for free, I'm all ears lol. It's a 99 by the way.

You can crank up the torsion bars to level the front, but that's about it. Anything else will cost money. Even the T bar crank should cost money because you will need an alignment

What's the story on the bottom of the doors ? And you should lower the front bumper back to stick it looks goofy all smashed up like that, otherwise great looking truck!

Getting some BFG A/T 285s this week probably. How many turns on the front t-bar bolts does it take to level the truck out?

Every truck is different. You just have to do it little by little until it gets there.

Oh it's not free, - that I can guarantee.

You'll pay, much more in the near future. It doesn't take that long to wear the front end down to sloppiness. Just so you know that going in.

What happen to the rims ? Looks like someone couldn't color inside the lines.

Yea, haven't seen the rims done up like that before lol. Why in the world would you go thru that trouble ? Those are the factory aluminum's, -originally they look pretty good for a factory rim. The previous owner must of had some hate issues ehh.

Just bought a 2001 SCab 5.4L 4x4 with 48,000 miles on it with 285/70R17 BFG KO2s. After finding this thread I checked and the T-bars were cranked to 25"+ Last night I unscrewed to 24.25" driver side and 24" passenger side, and the half-shafts look a little less stressed/less angle. The driver's side CV boot was cracked when I got it, and have since replaced it. So far I'm loving my Jellybean F150, after having a 1995 for 20 years. They've always been my favorite body style. Pics coming soon.
