I am looking to increase the ride height a little on my 1500 work truck. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this?
Thanks

Same as you would on your DMax. Off lever surface, measure to front wheel well. Take weight off front end (jack) and crank T-bar bolts same number of turns both sides. Lower vehicle, bounce to settle suspension, re-measure to wheel well. Repeat until you get the height to where you want.

If you want more lift than the keys allow, you have to use Ford torsion keys to start. Don't use these keys on your DMax..too much lift!

Remember to get an alignment after cranking T-bars.
