When you install tires with a larger diameter how do you adjust the speedometer to the correct mph?

@XXdetonator890 You need to get a programmer (SCI, EDGE, DiabloSport to name a few...)

It's always fun to hang out in your garage, it's so clean.

[motorztv]

@EricTheCarGuy Thanks Eric! We try to keep it pretty clean as you can tell! Stay dirty!

Torsion bar suspension = great for lowering, not so good for lifting. Also, thumbs up if you've ever lifted a truck in your garage/barn, only to find out it wouldn't fit out the door lol.

Always wondered about that torsion key lift. Very nicely explained... and that Jeep turned out killer!

U.S. Made parts and accessories.... Why does it say MADE IN MEXICO on all the items? I bought this kit for my JK, I think I deserve a refund.

Does anybody know how to tighten the torsion bars in the front on a 2011 gmc sierra to level it?

[cpinkerman]

The new torsion key is con. All it does is add preload to the torsion bar the same as cranking up the stock key. So if you think it does something else you need to think about what is happening that makes the front end higher. The new one is adding more twist (preload) to the bar only using less bolt threads to do so because of the bigger angle. Tell me how i am wrong. If you cant get enuff from the bolt your bars are shot and need replaced.

Hey Chris another great episode. Lift kits do make room for more rubber but do little to enhance performance. It would be great for another episode to put a long-arm kit on that JK. The DayStar lift is a good start for most people.

do you know, if i put a 3 inch coil spacer lift in a 2001 dodge do i need longer shocks?

[TheWillbell]

What size tires did you put on the GMC?

What lift kit do I need for an 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd for 3"?
