Cranking up a 100

[Intern22]

Anyone cranked the torsion bars locally on a 100? I dont want to go too far then have leaky cvs. But would like to level it out a bit once I take the running boards off. Im also in no rush.

You need to leave about a 1" rake from rear to front to keep the front end components at the correct angles.

I've done it a few times. You need the socket and paint pen so you can know your rotations. You do need a rake. The screw clamps on the CV's can help keep them from leaking.

Bigger job if you have to reindex the torsion bars. Otherwise its crank, measure, drive, measure, etc.

Also take off the running boards and gain a 6 inch visual lift in under 5 minutes. Looks good.

Ill measure what im at now after the storm. I guess if im close to that 1 inch ill look at some rear springs.

Running boards: Ill take them off as soon as the 3 year old can make the step. Right now she is Miss independent so she needs the step. They will be removed though.

on your 03 your sig says custom sliders. Did you have someone make them? If so shoot me some info

You can do rear springs or spacers. My sliders were made by @bhmmapping but he's out of the slider making business.

Thank you. She has her quirks. But feel it was a good deal. And look forward to the 4.7 over the 3fe I used to have. The front axle of the 80 is so much better though. Gonna miss it .
