What will work?


Recommended Posts

Ok I have a Pro-comp 6 inch lift, I also am going to put

the ford torsion keys up front to raise the front end about

2 inches, Now what should be done about the rear?

 

I called up four-wheel parts and they told me to call

Superlift about the rear end. Because this is a custom

lift application. Any ideas?? thanks

I've never been a fan of a lift block but you could probably go that route.

 

You could also check into shackles to give a little bit of a lift or you can look into an add a leaf system.

Id rather not go into a bigger block... axle wrap

They said add-a-leaf, would make the ride rougher and it

make everything more of a hassle..... Havnt thought about

shackles tho.

 

Doesnt superlift use a 6 inch block with there lift??

Usually they don;t make rear blocks bigger than 4 inches do they??? After the blocks they use add-a-leaves....anyway...if you want more lift, why not just get a bigger lift kit??? Go up to 8 or ten inches....other than that all I could think of is a body lift

I just want to see if I could lift the back to make it

even with the front with the Keys, Body lift would be

last resort...

I know Skyjacker makes an over the counter set of leaf springs for there 6" lift. If was doing it, I would install a set of those springs and then fine tune it with a block. At the worst, you'l probably be replacing the factory block with a 3.5".

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
