    im new here as of the other night so hello to all i have not posted to before! :D
    anyhow my old ute has i think a lowered suspension in it and i want to bring it up 1 and half inches even 2 inches would be good if possible, i was just wondering if i can do this my self or do i need to take it some place to get it done? i know you can wind up the torsion bars and lower or make it higher, but thing is i don't know how low it is or how to measure its height, i plan to be taking this ute wood hooking to get a few loads of wood and it does realy need to be much higher, i dont want a 4x4 and wont need one where im going, so can it be done and does any one have any idea of the cost it might be to raise her up 1 and half inches or 2 inches ? ill include a picture of the beast as it sits on its current susp. and also the left hand side sits down lower then the right side where the dent is but i cant see nothing bent under it or loose so i dont know, in the pic its as i bought it, ive repaird the grill and stuck a bull bar on it since and cleaned it up a bit.

    If it's lowered, taking off the lowering parts will raise it. If it's not (doesn't look it) then you need lift parts, which i'm no good with.
