Need some lift help please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

just picked up a 90 GMC. It has 315/75/16 tires on it. I am assuming someone cranked the torsion bars up as it sits level and rides TERRIBLE. What do i need to do to the front end to fix this as i want to keep the tires and rims on it?? HELP!!!!

lower the torsion bars back down and put smaller tires on it.

what did you expect? you can lower the air pressure in the tires.

the right way to do it is to put a lift on it. it lowers everything so the a arms are in the right orientation.

or you can get fancy and do a solid axle swap.

Thats why Im asking. Need to know what kind of kit as Ive never done this before. Thanks

that only gives you maybe 2" of lift maybe a little more. a standard lift kit off the shelf will do it, but they start at 4" pretty much.

these are all the parts youd need.

Yeap install a 4 to 6" lift kit on it or smaller tires.
But its a truck its not going to ride real smooth and if it does more then likely its not going to be able to haul much.
