99-06 chevy silverado 1500 torsion bar adjustment how to, diy 

You a real one for going out In the snow and showing us how to do it 🔥🔥☝🏻🙌🏻🫵🏻🫡👍🏻

Awesome video. And in the snow as well. Thank you for the time you put into making it and sharing.

Thank you was extremely helpful in leveling my truck

Thanks I never knew. I got an '04 Z71 Suburban 4x4. Turned mine all the way up and then backed off half a turn. Rides a lil more ridgid in the front but looks better! I'm a first timer thanks to your video!

thanks buddy i got a 2002 chevy silverado 1500 and i was wondering how to lift it from the front great video helpful

Thanks we just finished all the front suspension bits, so on to the ride height adjustment.🙌🏻

just started watching, working in the snow awesome

Nice explanation. I just had this performed at the local shop (added the alignment part) on a 2002 Tahoe Z71. The front end came up 2 inches, now only 1.5 cm lower than the rear. The goal with the level was to get the Tahoe ready as a lite overlander.

I did mine all the way, they were almost there anyway. My truck rides better now, next upgrade are rancho shocks with a 3 in front lift and 2 in...in the rear.

Great Video!! I'm sure I can do this on my own now. Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you, i just bought a chevy 2002 and the front is way lower than the back, hopefully this solves the problem.

Thanks for posting this. My 2000 Chevy Astro AWD is sagging on the driver's side and I'm hoping this helps.

Soooo....i came across this video BECAUSE i was looking to see WHY my truck didn't have any coil springs. & find out as i did some research that any marked as 4wd/4x4/off road vehicle will not have springs but have torsion bars. To my surprise, i didn't know what they were BUT i had seen them & never knew what they were (felt very dumb after that). So that's how i ran into this video. Liked 👍 the video by the way on how simple the adjustment was done. Had a truck before now than 10 yrs ago & was never too into customzing or upgrading my truck & now i got another one after looking for So many yrs. But now I'm interested in taking care of my truck pretty good & finding out new things that i should of known back then lol So now here comes some more dumb questions for my own education. Lol why is the adjustment done, what does it do? & how often are we to do that? This adjustment will only make the FRONT wheels adjustment? Or back also? Is this in place of putting LIFTS on the front suspension? My truck has a back lift of about 2in i believe (might be a 3in lift) so would i need to change the lifts from the back if the adjustment lefts it at the same level as back? Plz excuse my ignorance but i am interested in knowing about this torsion bar adjustment and more. Thank you in advance.

I love that he uses jack stands and he's working in the snow!

Glad more of a question comment I have a 2001 and it rains to the right about 3/4 of an inch how do I fix that.

My 98 has the torsion bars cranked all the way, it’s got no suspension in the front so I gotta bring those down, thanks for the video man

You do realize that after you change the front ride height, you should get the front end alignment checked, because your camber angle has changed.

Keep up the good work

thanks dawg so helpfull

I'm giving you a thumb's up just for doing that barehanded and bareheaded in the snow.

Hi I have an 03' gmc sierra extended cab, im planning to switch from 245/70r17 to 275/70r17 without any leveling kit or do I need to do this method to prevent from rubbing the tire to the truck? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Definitely looks better right away I'm sure another turn would equal it out..

Will try this, Thanks!

Don’t forget to get an alignment afterwards! Or so I’ve heard, haven’t actually done this yet

can you make a video on how to adjust the height for rear wheels ?

I'm going to recommend that you use/rent a torsion bar adjustment tool to take the tension off the bolt first. It's safer that way and you're less likely to strip the threads.

I was thinking you needed a breaker bar. But you got it done like a boss with a standard Ratchet. If I decide to do mine I’ll use a Ratchet. Probably wouldn’t notice it’s getting ready to break with a breaker bar.

Will this make the truck run smoother I put new shock on I can feel every bump in the road

Good video bro! Thinking of doing this for about 1/2" of lift and replacing my jounce bumpers to hopefully restore a bit of ride quality back into the front end. She's sagging a bit after 15 years hahaha..

My torsion bar on my passenger side is causing my passenger wheel to suck in when it should stick out which is causing me not to get a proper alignment. ANY CLUE OR IDEAS ? That can help me

Nice job bro

Cool Cat. Good video.

You should measure the driver side too, make sure it's the same height on both sides. sometimes you have what they call the Chevy lean.

Love PB Blaster. Does undercoating help in your area with rust prevention? I live in GA so we really don't have that issue.

Thank you

Cool thx brah!

You need to back the truck up about 50 ft then pull back in to measure.

Are my adjusting bolts be uneven? I just looked under my 01 and the driver side is Screwed in pass the crossmember and the passenger in sticking out the crossmember ?

Badass I know my project

My truck has decent height stock from new shocks and front end suspension, if I raise my torsion bar do you think I’ll be able to fit some 315/75r16 (35’s) on her ? Thank you (99 Tahoe square body)

Tell me why I leaned back when you start spraying the pb😂🤦🏻

Anytime you adjust the torsion bars you have to drive around the block and come back THEN measure. If you measure right off the jack the suspension isn't settled.

How high can they go?

Standing it on the frame rails takes almost no weight off the keys. What you need is a torsion key tool too actrually take the weight off. Jacking it up is badically the same as just leaving the tires on the ground. Also if you tow you dont want the front raised any more then half of an inch or your braking and stability will be noticeably worse!

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado that is lower on the passenger side what would that be ? It doesn’t have spring just shocks

How do lift the rear I have 2002 Chevy Silverado 2wd it was sitting on 22" rims and was lowered 3" now have the stock rims and tires it is real bouncy I want to re lift it to stock height

Nice 👍,, but can I lower the 2002 Chevy Tahoe the same way the rest end seats to higher ?

Este bato no tiene frío , y aquí en Texas no aguantamos el frio.🥶

Awesome

So, will this work if I use a matco rachet instead of a snap on?

Did this adjustment change the camber to more positive camber ??

What oíl used

What size tires and is that a factory lift? I know this is an old video, but I'm about to do my 2000 Silv. I tried the tiers and rims on, and had about an inch from the bumper to the front of the tire. "We'll see"! Thanks for the info

Typical measured fender to ground. So easy

What size tires are these? And what is the wheel brand and dimensions? I like it!!

What if you don't have torsion bars and you just have a rear wheel drive to 2 wheel drive truck with a 6-inch Lift how do you stop it from

Could I jack the one side of the truck up instead of putting the jack in the middle and just do it side by side?

So what’s the max you can adjust I’m assuming 3 inches

Does this wear out your torsion bars quicker?

Is it the same method for a 99 Chevy 2500 2wd?

weather is not a problem if there is a volition

Does it still do good a year later

what happens if i were to loosen the bolt instead of tightening it

🇺🇲 He used jack stands so that tells me he's a smart guy, so I chose this video over dumbshits that crawl under a 5500lbs truck with just a floor jack. Thanks for the video man, it was fast, to the point and helpful 🇺🇲

Do you have to align the truck afterwards ?

Nice video. What’s wheels do you have

U think I can fit 285 on it with cranking the torsion bars?

What kind of tires are those?

What wheels and tires do you have?

Do your turn left or right to make it higher ??

Imagine recording in the snow lmao

what's the maximum on the stock keys?

Make sure you dont raise it too much as the lower control arm will hit the rubber stop

What brand and size rims are those?

How do you lower the rear?

About to do it to mine until I saw the bolt to crank was missing.

What size tires are you running

how much did that snap on jacket cost you?

What rims are on that truck

Que medidas son tus llantas?

Readjust headlights when done........

Someone did this to my truck, and it now blows all over the road on windy days.

👍👍🇨🇦

Me watching the faith he has in that 1/2 inch ratchet lol

Which way do you turn to lower ??

And you need to get an alignment

don't forget that you're changing the camber of your wheels, to much and you'll have very uneven tire wear.

Wrong method. You need to unload the tension with a unloading tool or a 2 jaw puller. Using the bolt fucks it up.

Rough country leveling keys , are $79. Way better than turning up your bolts , that makes it ride like shit.
