If you wind the T/Bars all the way up, you will loose down travel and the ride will be harsher.sloshy wrote:If you wind them up you won't get as much suspension drop off-road.
You can get BJ Spacers on ebay and keep your some down travel or just do both and get 2 inch lift.
Don't forget the wheel alignment, whatever you do!
I'm the sharpest tool in the shed!
Wind the torsion bars up no more than 40mm and it will ride nicely. Unless you have a heavy steel bar and winch do not go aftermarket torsion bars they are stiff as and sucked on mine. I ran 40mm torsion bar windup and 2" body lift and was able to get 35s under mine. I hated the BJ spacers and wouldnt recommend them at all. each to their own I suppose.

think i read in one of the 4wd mags a way back about calamari or some such who has a kit to but i cant remember tbh
but i would guess it really depends on how high you wanna go you wind up the torsion bars to high and you get poor cv angles which could cause you more greif down the track
