Getting ready to do the crank, but I am wondering in order to get the 1.5" of lift, if the bars need re-indexed? I have found directions on re-indexing them, but after searching, have not found any clear directions to get the 1.5" with a crank. I'm sure I am making this harder than it has to be, but want to get it right the first time.

If you're just cranking the torison bars you don't have to re-index. That, as I found out today is only done if you remove/replace your torsion bars.
Here's my fun for the day!

This should help with the lift, good luck and enjoy your X!!

Thanks Big! Guess I will have to order those shackles sooner than I thought.
