Ya... Matts truck was sick for sure, hes on FSC. Here is his profile incase you wanna check out his suspension thread

They wont really say anything to you about Tbars being cranked.. imo a little crank wont hurt anything... its when you get into swapping to the F150 keys that stuff starts breaking. They make the bars adjustable for loads, ive seen guys at the truck pulls pull up and crank/decrank their bars all the time... dont take much effort and it doesnt suprise me theyd level yours off (if that is the case).

I do like the height of your truck with those 20s though

thats why i bought it.. i loved the way it sits. but now i wanna drop it down.. when i was at the dealer looking and i saw all these in a row compared to the regular height ones with stock 17's.. it wasnt hard for me to want one of these.. its just odd that i went to gmc and they had the same trucks same sports package lifted like mines.. same wheels.. i mean you know when a dealer has added some things or changed somethings to sell a truck.. but i have never ever seen a couple of rows of trucks modified the same by the dealer to sell or be more appealing.. maybe two or three at most but not 20.. i know we will get to the bottom of this.. one day.. i wish i could look but i was banned a while back.. lol.

I often wonder if the dealer cranked my bars before I bought my truck...it used to sit pretty close to level with a slight rake, while most others like mine seemed to have alot more rake to them. A couple times guys would ask me if I ever touched the t-bars also. The first time that I put it on the alignment rack (about a year after I bought it new), the specs were way off too, which would make me think that they might have cranked the bars up without aligning it. Whatever, it's lowered now lol.

You've got a 2" rake???? I thought you said it was level..... nevermind, you are sitting right where where all t-bar suspended trucks are, including my bro-in-laws, no extra lift. If you were indeed level, it would have been cranked bars.

All t-bar trucks sit higher than their coil sprung brothers. It's not for the wheels, they were offered on coil sprung trucks also, just that some packages combined the suspension and wheels into one package. Cheers Bro
