1993 Suspension questions
I am thinking about installing new torsion bars and jacking them some or ball joint spacers, with rear rancho add-a leafs, any thoughts?
I just put on Bilsteins and do not want to replace them, will this be possible using the above parts?
Anyone have any suggestions on replacement steering stabilizer?
I have a '93 extra-cab 4x4, brand new 31" BFG A/t's, Bilstein H/d's, Warn winch bumper(very heavy!), 75,000mi, mostly stock, second owner.
Thanks in advance for help!
Also, anyone have an extra Borla exhaust laying around collecting dust?!?

Yes, it's possible as the travel is limited by the bumpstops, not the springs, etc.
All you will be doing is increasing the ride height and the spring preload/rate. It will better support the bumper, but the ride and offroad "flex" will suffer.
It's hard to say whether you would be better off cranking the factory bars or installing aftermarket ones. I know the big ones on 4x4lamm's truck don't move for anything. Last time I wheeled with him, he always had a tire off the ground it seemed...

Yea if you run bj spacers in the front just move the shock down with some washers so you will get some of that travel back. Just make sure your suspension is at full drop and you dont have to compress the shock to get it back on. And you can run factory tbars with bj spacers I am now and got them cranked up about 1in.
