Default Updated Pics block and crank

I just put in 3" lift blocks in the rear, only to find out the truck came stock with 2" lift blocks from factory lol. anyways i installed the blocks in the rear and cranked my torsion bars until the truck was level the front gain was about 2.5 inches the rear was an inch i also put on some 285s they arent much good but they size the truck up nice. Please leave any suggestions, Thanks!

Throw some FX4 wheels and nice tires and that truck would look perfect!

I would not crank anymore than you already have. It will be bad on steering components along with the front CV axles.

^^ yes

truck looks great man! I'm picking up some 3" leveling keys for my truck tomorrow! can't wait to get them on, I already have my torsion bars maxxed out but with my bumper it stills sags about an inch in the front so hopefully these keys will get it back level, maybe an inch high in the front for a little cali lean. I like the stance of yours

Being you have a aftermarket bumper try finding torsion bars from the dealer from a 7700. I did and it supports my Warn XD12, and 3/8 plate winch mount just fine. My winch and mount weighs in right at 135lb. So It will help and you dont have to over crank the **** out of the keys.

Heres a pic with 3" blocks and maxed out 7700 torsion bars with ready lift keys.
