Step 6 Crawl back under truck ,place socket over bolt,turn ratchet.
Step 7 Reverse ratchet to turn proper direction.
Step 8 Push/pull on ratchet while screaming nasty language.
Step 9 Crawl out from under truck.
Step 10 Fetch MAPP gas torch from garage to loosen the #$$%!&*^ LOCKTITE the factory thought it was a good idea to put on the t-bar bolts.
Step 11 You know where you're going.
Step 12 Crawl back out . You forgot the torch igniter.
Step 13 Light torch.
Step 14 Crawl back under there!
Step 15 Put out fire on pants leg.

junk! they are supposed to help out the geometry on your t-bars and crap..but still if u cant crank your t bars 2 inches and throw in a 2'' key to give ya 4 inches..what is advertised is what u get for lift...someone correct me if im wrong but i think thats how it works...cuz i asked with using those on my 4'' suspension lift i had and zac told me it was a big no no. so i said screw it and started a SAS on my rig

when i was cranking t bars on my 02 edge the drivers side would not move at all, i had to use a 6ft bar to turn that mother... , i replaced driver side bolt yesterday cause i rounded the original trying to crank it and the new bolt went in and tightened like butter, it might have been cause my tbars are sagged too, either way spray some rust buster on it and make sure u use a 6 point socket lol
