[addictedtosleep]

i tried tightning the front torchin bars but didnt do much,dont know why but it didnt lift it !!! so any and all info is greatly appreciated thanks

Shocks don't add lift.

You can tighten the torsion bars, or install ball joint spacers.

Leave the front alone.... the 3 inch blocks should wear out the rear springs fast enough that they will match again soon...

I would just do the cranking of the t-bars or bj spacer's and worry about the saggy springs when it comes, then replace them with downey's.

So you can replace the saggy Downey spring a couple of years after that...

Seriously though, I wouldn't run blocks, especially not 3" or higher.

Get rid of the rear block all together and install a 1" or 2" longer than stock rear shackle.

downey springs are the worst I have ever owned.
had them on the back of a four runner.
sagged in one year so bad the tire was hitting the rear of the fender.
