Chevy Truck: Adjusting Lift Kit

Now that all the suspension is bolted on, now you're going to install the tires. Lower the vehicle, to a height that's suitable for you so you're not going to strain your back, and install the rims and tires. Now that all the tires are on, secure and tightened, we're going to lower the vehicle to the ground. Now that the vehicle is dropped on the ground, with the full weight of the vehicle on the lift springs, tighten up both the front and rear bolts for the lift springs. Now I repeat, by having the weight of the vehicle on the lift springs and then tightening the bolt allows you to get the exact right height for the vehicle. If you would have had the vehicle in the air, with no weight on the springs, your accurate ride height is not going to be right because there's going to be no weight on the springs. Like I said, lower the vehicle down, then tighten the bolts. Now you can see what a dramatic difference four inches of suspension and thirty-three inches of tires does to this little truck, it makes it big. The one thing with this kit, you have a range of adjustment of three inches on the front suspension by adjusting the torsion bar. Whether it be you can raise it three inches or lower it three inches, whether or not, to your desired height. On this truck right now the back sits a little higher than the front, we'll test drive it and make sure everything is good from the lift, bring it back in, torque the torsion bars to either give it a lift, whether the customer wants it high in the front, level, or as is. This is your lifted Colorado. SS Motor Sports.
