stock shocks off an 95 ish k1500 bolt right into the rear with the extra length needed too

That would have been handy information - would've saved me an hour looking through the shock book...

does anybody have a pic that shows what bad "rake" would be from a tb crank ?? i know of rake on motorcycles and windshields but im having a hard time visualizing the rake caused by a tb crank

~~~~~~~~~~~~~WARNING NOOB CONTENT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rake usually refers to the rear of the vehicle being higher then the front, kinda like a hot rod.
My Step dads 73 mach 1 for example

4X4's usually want to obe level front to back, if you did a tb crank with out doing any thing to the rear you ( assuming the truck sat level to begin with) then it would have more of a prerunner look like this

so if you crank them to much you will lift the front of the truck too much...

Hey r0adki1l - do you live where that Mach 1 is parked?  If so, you're only a mile from me!...

[r0adki1l]

has anyone notice the subject title for this thread is called safetest....

[zeuce]

I agree-

[emoric]

i mean im not a big one for spelling, i usually the one getting it wrong all the time, but everytime i c this thread it see SAFETEST

[tonys colly]

I also would like to lift my colly. The "SAFETEST" and cheapest way of doing so if some one could give me a link to a AAL or shackles or TB crank. speaking of TB cranks does this do any wear or tear on the vehicle?

[zeuce]

check out www.canuckmotorsports.com  for shackles. you shouldnt need torsion bar keys unless they are sagged. I got 3" of lift out of my stock torsion bar keys I had to lengthen the shackles I bought from canuck motorsports tho cause the most they give you is 2"
so, you can lift your truck 2" with just shackles and a TB crank (then an alignment) it will change your CV angle and upper BJ angle but you can remedy that by doing the upper BJ flip and a front diff drop, but on 2 inchs lift its not do or die.

how do i know if there is sag in my torsion bars and what does flipping and dropping cv and bj do?
