Cranking the torsion bars alone would be the cheap way to level ($0), but, IMO, it makes it ride like sh!t. I would recommend the Cognito UCA leveling kit. If you want more than that, crank the torsion bars a tad and put some spring spacers in the rear. That plus the 37s will put you slightly higher than stock...and give you a more aggressive stance.

You'll prolly want new gears and a tune after stepping up to 37s.


Thanks for the info.

Because I have work to do, I decided to start researching.

Read a lot of what you've said about cranking OEM keys. Don't want that.

I'll look at the Cognito UCA Leveling kit again. Maybe I missed something but I didn't think that included anything but shock extenders and the UCA, or UCA and front Billsteins. I didn't see where you actually get any lift.

I think I'm screwed on tires, with my 20" x 8.5" rims with an offset of 10.

BFG quit making 37/20 all terrains.

Nitto has a 37x14.11x20 in their A/T , but even if I could get the 14" wide tire on the 8.5" rim I'm pretty sure I'd have rubbing issues......from what I've been reading.

Don't want a M/T.

If I can get tires figured out the next step would be raising it a bit, then shocks, then Cognito UCA, then gears. I have the tune and access to DIABLEW.

Green keys, spring spacers, Billsteins.

Thoughts/ideas ??
