ok I just purchased the BJ spacer from trdparts4u.com and was just wondering what the pros and cons are from the guys already running it and if you have pics of your front setup with the spacer

 

well you get an inch or so to raise your front end, or relax your tbars, but why post in 84-85 section?

 

con is you have to get a realighment , pro is you got more flex in the fround
con is you have to trim your upper control arm... pro is you get more height

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by turning the t-bar nut you are just essentially rotating the bar. So your not making the actual bar have more tension in it. The bounciness associated with cranked t-bars is actually from most of the shock going in to the c/vs, and over extended shocks? I have only seen this posted on this site once before, and it makes perfect sense to me. My turning that little nut on the bottom of the truck, you are just changing the degree the bar is rotated not making the t-bar increase its spring rate. so bj-spacers would not effect your ride if you relax the t-bars, because the ride height is still the same, keeping the suspension geometry the same.

 

yes and no. You are only just turning the bar. The "bouncyness" is a result of a-arm to frame angles. Essentially, you are transferring more of the force of a bump directly to the frame, rather than being sprung by the torsion bar.

Conversely, by putting in a bj spacer and relaxing the bar, you get more force transfered to the tbar, and less to the frame.

I'll look around later, but there is a whole thread explaining it. It takes a while to type.
