: How many turns per inch of lift?

I just had the Cognito leveling kit installed and the T-bars are cranked too high. I would like to drop the front end down about an inch. How many turns per inch of front end travel? I know I read it on this site, but I cannot find it.

Just measure the height on each side where you want the one inch drop and crank them until your tape measure shows a one inch drop, pretty simple.

Maybe 3-4 turns IIRC, but don't just go cranking on the tbars with your truck on the ground.

I went ahead and made one full turn at a time and found that each full turn = 1/8 of an inch. In other words 1 inch = 8 turns.

The truck is looking good. Pics to follow.
