When i lift up the front end 2" by raising the t-bars, am i going to need new shocks?

anyone?

The best way to raise the front of your truck is with ball joint spacers, if you crank the torsion bars up, your truck ride like a brick and you will be very unhappy with the hard ride that you will have.

Booosted Supra

To answer your question though, you will not need longer shocks, the distance between the arms stays the same. You would only need new shocks if you added BJ spacers or drop brackets, but like stated above, it will ride hard

2" is quite a bit for a Tbar crank, i'd only go to 3/4" or 1" to remain a somewhat-soft ride.
I only raised mine to get rid of the rake i had after i installed AAL's

Ive researched it a little more im gonna go with the 1 1/2" BJ spacers and maybe 1" on the T-Bars

bad idea because:
you will eat CV boots unless you have manual hubs
you will wear out CVs fast off road
you will have shoddy flex
your ride will suck
you will wear out steering expensive components at a surprising rate
your truck will most likely be difficult to align

Leave the IFS at stock height... its just better that way. I bought BJ spacers, then negated the lift by lowering the ride back down to stock. It flexes better now and I don't wear out steering stuff.
