Any solution for more front lift?
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:01 pm
So tonight as I was cutting my fan shroud and drilling my ebrake bracket in prep for throwing on my 2"spacers tomorrow, I decided to crank the t bars to see if I could get an extra inch of lift...much to my dismay, I found that they were only about three threads from bottomed already. After I tightened the bolt in as far as it would go, I got less than a half inch of lift.
So the issue with this is that now the front is sitting between 29.75" and 30" high, while the rear is at 29.5. From everything I've read, the s10 3+1 pack I have waiting will give me between 3" and 4" in the rear. This means that I'm realistically looking at like a 2" differential in the front with no way to crank it further.
Is there any way that I could source slightly longer bolts for the front bars to get a little extra out of them? I've got a big trip in a cople weeks and really wanted to get the van lifted and put 30"s onit prior to leaving. Not sure if there is any other timely solution at this point, but I figure I'm going to need at least one more inch in the front. THanks in advance for any good ideas...
