Default PICS?? 4x4 with 4in blocks & 3in BL??

looking for any pic with the "poboy" lift kit. that being 4 inch lift blocks on the rear with the torsion keys turned to match the rear and then a 3 inch bofdy lift on top of that. I do not take this truck off roading a lot. also gonna stick with the factory wheels for now. any recommendation on 35s or 37s?

You could clear 37" tires. A member on here has it.
Edit - now that I re-read, a member has a leveled his truck with a 3" body. Not a 4" block like black on white has said

Good god you are never going to get torsion bars to come any where close to level with a 4" block in the rear absolutely not. Nope. Won't happen. Wow. A 1" block then yes.

Cranked stock TBars will not lift the front end 4". Maybe 2" Max.

Maybe I am not quite understanding your reasoning, but you shouldnt need anything more than a 1" Lift block in the rear with cranked stock TBars.

Heres my pickup, with a 3" BL and stock TBar keys cranked to about 75%, no added block in the rear.

Edit: If you do a BL, make sure you get gap guards and have running boards. The running boards hide your frame rails and the gap guards will block off the god awful gap between the box and frame!

your truck looks awesome first off.

Have you took the time to Measure to see if your level? To me the pic looks like your rear is squatted? My truck is level with the 2inch rear block and stock keys maxed out. Yes I know it's not ideal but it works for now.

bolden, you talking about replacing your stock 2" block with a custom made 4" ... thus giving you 2" lift in the rear, and then trying to crank the torsion bolts to match?
-- That would be a long way to crank those -- too far most likely. You may want to reconsider that...


Now you should be able to find plenty of pics on here with the torsion cranked for level (1" or so) and a 3" body lift on 33s or 35s...

Thanks! I have not measured but I did throw a level on the rocker panels at one point. Guess its not too accurate if the shop floor has any kind of slope!

It does look like it squats a little bit yup. Although the angle of the picture exaggerates it some.

My truck is running 33's in the pic BTW.
