    So Im planning to crank my tbars here soon. I was just underneath the truck measuring how much i could probably get out of them and came to a dilema kinda. My driver side tbar bolt is cranked more then my passenger side by about a 1/8". The driver side has about 5/8" of bolt left and the passenger has about 3/4" left. My truck sits perfectly level right now, so im assuming the driver side was saggin at one point so it was cranked a little more. Anyways when I got to crank them, do I need to leave a 1/8" off the passenger one so it will sit level? I figured I could probably get a 1 1/2" of lift out of the driver side so I'll do that and then get 3.5" blocks for the rear or 1.5" aal

    Do the same amount of turns for each side, then measure from the center of your wheel to the center of your wheel well. Repeat as necessary until you reach the height you want.
