I have searched and not found out any info on what the proceedure is on cranking up the front end.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jason

Your signature doesnt list your year and make of truck, so I will assume its a Chevy/GMC 2500 or 3500.

Crawl under the truck around the drivers door. You should see two solid 2" steel rods running from the front lower A arms going to a cross member between the frame. If you look close, you'll see two bolts that I think are about 15 MM heads. Screw them in several turns to gain about 1" of "lift" on the front.

Jack it up first and get the front wheels off the ground makes it alot easy'er but crank them in even turns like 4 turns on the driverside and 4 turns on the pass. side.

Get a 3 ton jack, jack up the truck, look for the 2" steel rods that connect to the LCA's and the crossmember. Crank the bolts between 4-6 times, lower your truck back down, get out a level and set it on your bumper to make sure there even, go get an alignment, I also would suggest some 2" longer shocks and cognito's pitman/idler support kit.
