leveling my 62
hey guys, curious if there are tips and tricks towards leveling a 62 gmc flatbed? not sure if there are kits or just tighten the torsion bars as i have done on my dodge. i dont want to make the ride too much stiffer, and im not looking to lower it at all. any pics or links would be appreciated as well, thanks!

Re: leveling my 62
Find a "level" spot. Measure height. Find happy height, adjust to happy height. I cranked my Durango up and had no issues. Shocks help rebounds is light or if too stiff turn bars down. Once again a good shock not a cheap and too stiff shock will control bounce. And if needed check alignment after for a happier truck.

Re: leveling my 62
Most "big trucks" were higher in he rear . You can adjust the t bars as mentioned.
Did you get the windshield in ?
