ok, as the title says i raised my MK torsion bars to the max. the car sits buch better now, only 15mm higher an the back now. the only thing im worried about is, will there be any stress on other parts (ball joints etc)??? i had a wheel allignment at the same time

cheers

Ball joints will be fine, did you cut your top stops?

The only problem ive had is my LH outer cv joint has become noisy from running at a different angle than its previous 300 000 kms of its life

Main problem you will suffer is torn CV boots.....

Larger angles on the CV's also can cause these to break if your running larger tyres.

But it is an easy & cost effective lift for the front of the truck.
If you are that worried about the effects, you can drop your diff but then you lose the clearance.

hmmm, i have 31" AT's but am looking to go to a 31" MTR and wont be going bigger than that. there was only prob 5mm to the bump stops, after the lift there is bout an inch. will going up to max destroy my CV's quickly?

thanks for the replies

It's the angle you have put on the cvs that makes it wear out quicker than usual...But as with most diff parts if they are cared for last ages. Most will go 300,000klms + without dramas. The angle just makes it wear a little uneven & generally when you lift it you put larger/ m,ore aggressive tyres on anyway so it ads to the wear. A locker will also ad to this!!!!

IFS is a comprimise anyways.....Solid axle is much easier to work with!!
