Just be aware that all tires are different. That tire conversion site just converts the metric to inches. Which means it won't necessarily be the actual dimensions of a particular tire. They differ between manufacturers, and even from model to model of the same manufacturer.

It does give a good idea of what size your dealing with if you don't know the metric, though.

what size are the shackles? I would like to do this to mine, Is it difficult to make sure both torsion bars are turned an equal amount? or do you just max them out?

When you adjust the TBs use a measure. When doing a PML most people adjust the TBs until there is about .5 ~.75 inches between the UCA and the droop stop. Bounce the front of the truck between adjustments and measurements. Get an alignment afterwards.

I'm really interested in doing this same lift. So those are the Calmini 1.5" shackles which are about $65 and are those the stock torsion bars. Also, I', knew to this, so how do you achieve the lift, just twist or something. Don't poke fun since i'm a newbie.

thanks,
dan
