Urs looks at about 10.5 and mine is sitting at 8. So it could probably go up some more I just don't want to have to go do an alignment again lol If I didn't have to do an alignment I would be up first thing in the AM knocking it ou lol!!!
I know what you mean. Not sure if you'd have to line it up again. I bet you would. I just thought I'd share some pics. If it drives good and you like it, run it. You could always run the bars up later if you want. When he put mine on I stressed I wanted it as high as I could get without stressing any of the drive line or steering parts. I also wanted it as close to level as I could get or if the front was just a little higher I was cool with that.

I like it but would like a more level look!! I have about a 1.5 inch clearance to the garage so I can still keep my stuff secure.. I wonder how much 1" would make and if I would have to align with such minor adjustment...

Well guys got the truck on jacks and tried to adjust the keys to bring the front end up and I literally could not get the bolts to budge.. They seemed to be maxed out.. Looks like I'm stuck with a little forward lean.. Lol maybe when that backend starts to sag it will level out lmao!!!

Check the T-bars, from the factory they swap my bars and I couldn't get my front end any higher until I seen the bars was flipped. They should have a blue stick on them that say "L" and "R", from the inside of you truck is the way to tell left and right.

Driver-side

So if this is backwards I have to turn counter clockwise to raise the front??? Right??

No clue what that red arrow is pointing at (never been under a lifted 3) (***after a closer look I now know what it is, with the control arms lowered you need an new part to link that T-bars to the control arms without selling new t-bars. They look to be in the right spots.***) but if you can read the tag that the blue arrow is pointing at is what I'm talking about. That's the T-bar it self and has to be on the correct side to rise up your front end higher. Real simple to swap, remove the t-bar bolt and key and hit the lower control arm with WD-40 that the t-bar sides into. You may need someone to hit the lower control arm with a big hammer or it will just pop out.

The keys are fine. Your drop brackets (the cast pieces that plug into your A-arms) are backwards. You can clearly see the "R" and "L" in the photos...and your's are installed backwards. Take it back to the alleged mechanic and tell him to swap them so the "R" is on the right and the "L" is on the left. Speak slowly and clearly...he might be retarded. I seriously don't know what Rancho could have done to make it more obvious. You should be careful letting people work on your truck.
:giggle:
Also, the t-bars themselves are indexed differently for RH and LH sides AND ALSO FOR FRONT/REAR ENDS. They can be installed backwards and/or flipped....but they will only be correct if they are installed one way.
