ball joint spacers vs. cranked t-bars
Which would be better: Installing Ball Joint Spacers or Cranking the T-Bars? Can both be done? What advantages and disadvantages do each have?

You can only crank your T-Bars only so far and when you crank them to their extent, its rough on the CV's. From what i've seen, most buy the spacers so they can return their T-Bars back to normal to get the more comfortable ride (cranked T-Bars=rough ride) while still maintaining a lift. Look at the group buy to get the links for more info on the spacers but sadly the buy is over. If you crank your T-bars considerably you'll want to get some locking hubs to save your CV's. Hope my small knowledge helped.

In part, they do the same thing, getting the spindle set in a differnt place in the travel arc.
I have spacers and dropped my bars as low as they would go. This means there is less loading on the torsion bars and it can travel to the bumpstops.
I started a thread about Install and Impressions, might take a look.
