Leveling Kit?
« on: March 04, 2010, 08:36:02 pm »
Hey guys i have a question on my new daily driver.  I just bought a 1995 Chevy Tahoe LT.  I was wanting to do a cheap leveling kit on it and would like to know if coil spring spacers or torsion bar keys are the better way to go.  It will mostly see highway but i work on a farm and sometimes i pull a trailer offroad.

Lol fitz. You can put new tosion bar keys in or just adjust the ones you have you can make it sit almost level just watch the bumbs on the road you might hit them a little hard. Just remember if you turn one side 3 1\2 times you do the same to the other side

ok so i adjusted the keys and now the front sits about where were i want it.  But now the rear is to low for me.  So i went to a chevrolet dealership and ordered the rear lift blocks that come on z71's for it.
