how much hieght each turn on t-bar

How much height increase will each full turn of the t-bar give me on a 2500HD?

From Service Information:

 

"For vehicles equipped with a torsion bar suspension turn the bolt (1) that contacts the torsion arm clockwise to raise the and counterclockwise to lower the height adjustment. One revolution of the bolt (1) into the nut increases the Z height by approximately 6.0 mm (0.2 in). "

 

Measure from the control arm pivot bolt center line down to an imaginary line horizontal to the lower corner of the steering knuckle in order to obtain the Z height measurement.

 

Adjustment of the torsion bars will also add down force to the front tires at the rate of about 50 pounds per revolution of the torsion bar bolt.

 

Without the extra weight of a plow or other front mount accessory, the ride will suffer greatly, and your tires will pay the price for over-adjustment.

 

Hope this helps.

4 complete turns will raise you about 2 to 2.5 inches plus I had a front end alighment done and it was ok and I like the ride better also. I measured from the ground to the top of the wheel well and thats what it gave me almost 2.5 inches
