I know these trucks don't ride good from the start, but after I did the b.j. lift, mine is almost unbearable. I'm also running boggers, and I know that's not helping any either. I changed shocks to doestech to no avail. I don't know if the torsion bars haven't ever been adjusted, but I haven't touched them since owning it. I have considered trying to lower it a tad by backing off on torsion bars, but hate to change alignment.

is there any way to get a decent ride out of the truck with the bj lift on? Every little bump i hit feels like they have a 3" lip on them!

Can you look at your bumpstops to see if your control arms are hitting the upper or lower one? Maybe you need to adjust your t-bars a bit to give you some up and down travel.

What tire pressure are you running??

All of the above.. and/or get softer springs.

I'm to tired to explain the physics, I will let Google..
​​See this link. ( Like I said tired and lazy today..) you changed the lever arm "moment"

Running roughly 27#

Would trying to lower it via torsion bars do anything?

also, I've seen some running ome torsion bars. What would changing them out do?

That is a reasonable tire pressure, you'll have to look elseware for your fix.

Take some of the preload off, by adjusting the ride height lower. (See #4, we posted at the same time so you might not have seen it)

I believe the old man emu torsion bars are heavy-duty, they will have a higher than OEM spring rate. You can use them with a lower preload. They have good support and can tell you specifically how the spring rates compare and if they have other than a HD part.

Install a heavier bumper and winch.

^ that actually may be an option down the road. I do want a winch/bumper
