new blazeland lift
i just finished up getting my blazeland lift put on my truck. all in all im pretty happy with it, it took a lot longer than i anticipated to get on, but a lot of that was due to the wrong parts that the auto parts store gave me.

So is the body roll worse now? Is it because of the lack of a front sway bar or are you using factory torsion bars and that causes it?

Iv heard talk of using a T100 sway bar for the added width. What are you running for tires?

Springs - torsion bars, coil, etc. - are not great for changing / controlling roll. Vertical loads yes, but don't plan on a big roll reduction from heavy duty torsion bars. The best conventional way to have a noticeable reduction in roll is with an anti-sway bar.
I had been running stock t-bars without the front anti-sway bar for almost a year. I added 24mm Rancho t-bars about two months ago to aid in the add'l front weight of my bumper and winch. There was absolutely no reduction in roll from the assometer stand point.
I would not go buying heavy duty t-bars if you goal is to reduce roll. If you want to change the ride aspects, they work great if its well matched to your front weight.

I won't calculate it out (because i don't really care), but when you add 3" of leverage to something designed to only handle 3" less of leverage, then you increase the amounty of torque applied to the stock torsion bars..
In this case, the amount of torque applied increases his body roll and makes his suspension soft. So, stiffer torsion bars would fix this.
