lowering t- bars

fallow the t-bar to near the rear of the tranny, and youll see an adjusting bolt that is in the middle of the cross-member. you loosen it to let the frontend down and tighten it to raise it. keep track of how many turns you lower it so you can get it back up to the correct highth when your finished racing. theres one for the left and one for the right
Be sure to jack the truck up when adj, the bars so you dont take the chance of striping the bolt, plus its easier to turn!
i used a chisel to put a mark on the bolt and on the crosmember so as long as i remember how many turns i turned them i'm sure to get them back in the right spot!!!

I took my bolts right out and put washers on them so i go to that same hieght everytime i also marked with a chisel and count the turns05_LLY said:
also put antisieze on the bolts ive never jacked the truck but its probbally a good idea
just thinking about the jack, you could also use a 2 jaw gear pullerbrewmax said:good idea, i broke one off on a 01 that i used to have
this is what i used when putting my lift on, its smaller than haveing a jack
and worked great, just another thought
On th e 02 they are backed all the way down, is this bad for every day driving? Hasn't worn the tires at all suprisingly. Was going to take it to get it alined but havn't had the time.
