How to crank t-bars on 97-03

[iowaredneck]

Thought I would do a write up about cranking t-bars just because I did them on my screw today.

1. Locate t-bar bolts and spray pentrating lube or oil on them to loosen up, let sit for ten mins. (Pics below) bolts on a screw are directly underneath the front door handles of a screw. Just follow the door handle down, find cross bar, and then locate the bolts.

2. I used a 1/2" rachet and a 18mm socket to turn the bolts clockwise to raise up. Make sure you measure before you start and then after cranking up to the desired level you want.

3. After desired height is achieved, drive truck around for 10-15 mins. to let everything settle and remeasure to make sure no adjustments need to be made. Hope this helps someone.

Nice job man ... but why don't you edit that 3/4" socket to the 18mm so someone doesn't read just the first post and turn thiers into carriage bolts.
