2" lift woes. What did I screw up?

That's my plan then. Free up the shocks with the bottom bolts. Measure the stroke length / check number on the shock itself. I'll redo the torsion bar adjustment again. I've done it twice just as you described but maybe the third times a charm. Plus I need to work on my Popeye forearms. I'm waiting ...

2" lift woes. What did I screw up?

I'll put the bump stop back in. There's one thing I can't wrap my head around: The torsion bars are brand new and the markings are facing the rear. Left and right sides are correct. It seems to me that it wouldn't matter what spline they are on. I started the adjuster as low as it could go. If I tak...

2" lift woes. What did I screw up?

I forgot to include this picture. Notice the upper bushing. I had to use 2 vice grips plus my own kung fu grip to get that nut on.

2" lift woes. What did I screw up?

Are these the upgraded 24mm torsion bars, or just new standard ones? New standard torsion bars. Either way, it looks like the torsion bars aren't indexed correctly yet. Jack the front up until the upper rebound buffers (missing in your photo) are fully compressed and the front wheels are hanging of...

2" lift woes. What did I screw up?

I installed the 2" lift kit that Jesse offers, new shocks, and new torsion bars. The install went peachy keen until I took "Truck Norris" off the jack stands. The front end was lower. How could this be. I crawled back under and cranked the torsion bars all the way up and it was still ...

Massive Oil Leak

Hey Morganizer, sorry I didn't reply earlier. The first thing I did after trying every wrench, shaved socked, swivel joints, and curse word I knew was to seek out a set of stubby wrenches. The one pictured to be exact. only the open end would fit on the banjo, but I still couldn't get any leverage t...

Massive Oil Leak

All is well and the Deli is back to slowing traffic on the freeways! I removed the drivers side engine cover and it was as dry as the Sahara above the oil filter. So I added a couple of liters of oil, crawled underneath, and had my wife turn the oil shower , i mean engine, over. Sploosh! Oil comes j...

Say you just lifted your L300

No lift, but I had to remove the front steps and "modify" the front arch a bit.

Massive Oil Leak

I finally had some time to replace the the vacuum pump oil feed line. That top banjo bolt was so much fun! Put fresh oil in, started her up, and sploosh, all the oil I put in came gushing out :-( When I crawled under to have a looksie, it seems like it might be coming from the top side of the filter...

Massive Oil Leak

As I was backing into my garage I notice I was leaving a trail up the driveway. Looked at the instrument panel and everything looked normal. I thought maybe it was water from the rain we had earlier, there was a puddle at the end of the driveway. I walk around the van and it looks like BP had parked...
