Torsion Bar Help

[biancofiorels926]

I'm installing a readylift leveling kit on my 06 z71. I got the torsion bar unloaded but it won't slide forward. I've sprayed lube on everything, hammered the back of it and tried an air hammer and still won't budge. Any ideas?

do you have ur truck on jackstands of a lift?

It's on jackstands

Sounds like you don't have all of the pressure released from the bar. Is the lower ball joint apart?

[biancofiorels926]

No ball joints not apart. I can move the torsion bar around just can't get it to slide out of the key. I've been working on this since 9:30 this morning and its 1:00 now
