Rough Country 2" Leveling Lift Kit for 01-10 Chevy/GMC 2500 HD | FT Codes - 8595

Front end on my 2000 Yukon XL 2500 ran out of adjustment on the torsion bars. So I bought these. make sure you check your codes in the glove box to make sure you order the right ones. Installing wasn't too bad. I sprayed everything down the night before with penetrating oil where the torsion bars go into the control arms. Taking the stock keys out was fairly easy to unload and pull them out. I took a drift and was tapping on the torsion bars from the front and tapping them back using a vice grip clamped on bar behind control arm. and tapping them forward eventually they came loose and slid forward no problem. While you have them out I would also double check the bushings on the torsion bar hanger for the keys. If those bushings are worn they'll make a creaking and popping sound when you going down the road. Now's the Time to change them. You're going to need a torsion key loading tool. I would not use a c-clamp and I would be careful about buying a cheap $25 tool on Amazon. The proper one is forged and cost about 80 bucks. The new keys are reindex so you have to compress them to get the adjustment block back in them and there is a lot of pressure to get it to that point. Once reassembled I leveled everything out took a ride brought it back double check leveled again and installed the shock extension mounts. You may not need the shock extensions if you're going back to stock ride height. I leveled the front and that brought it up almost two inches past factory height. I installed them they're very easy to do. Last but not least get an alignment done. It doesn't so much affect the camber or caster but it definitely affects the toe when you change height.

Easy install as long as you buy or borrow the torsion bar tension release tool and use it during the install. Two adjustments and my truck is now level and has a much better look.

Easy install fit great

Nice product

They gave me the extra lift I needed for tire clearance
