[2000Frontier4x4]

ok so I want to adjust my tbar to level my truck, cause the rear is higher then the front. I read the write up on tbar crank, but I want to make sure im doing it right.

First I lift front end and lubricate nuts
Second I loosen the adjuster bolt to where I want my height to be.
third I tight the bottom nut and ride a bit till it settles in?

does it only lift the front? or whole vehicle?What would be a safe increase in height?


Thanks in advance

You tighten the nuts to achieve lift and it only lifts the front. Once you climb under there and look you will see how they work. Really simple concept.

When you lift the front end there is not too much you have to worry about but this is going to mess up the alignment a bit.

Does it really affect the alignment? A few said it doesnt. Would an 1 inch be safe?

An inch "could" still mess up the alignment, u can drive it still but how much do u like ur tires!
I think alignments are like $60

don't go over 1.5"

can someone tell me in detail how to actually do the tbar crank. I have an idea, but I want to be sure. And i already read the write up.

i cranked my t-bars all the way, all u do is losen the 1st nut and then tighten the 2nd one.. just make sure when ur done, that u did both sides the same

Wait, I was completely wrong. It looks as if the nuts are in the inside and not the outside as they are with the 2X4. I to dropped my hardbody this way and I thought the 4X4 was set up the same way.

ok thanks. ill give it a try in the coming days

 

[Topoutman]

Umm don’t crank them all the way, only go about 1.5 max with ultra low bump stops should help too

When I did mine I got 2" out of it. And I don't have any tire wear problems?
