ball joint spacers?
Does anyone know if these limit flex?
I have my torsion bars turned now and i have the worst flex ever so I wanna add these as well to give it that extra lift.

AH Willkommen.............Its the loss of droop, that screws up flex.BJS and crank will not help. what size tires do you have? Spend money on lockers and keep susp near stock. hat year truck> More info.

Ball joint spacers will increase the flex given the torsion bars are set soft enough to allow for the full travel. Why? They increase the vertical separation between the bump stocks on the control arm and the contact points:

Sorry to thread jack, but I have a question. I had my torsion bars cranked to over level, not on bumpstops though, anyway, when I got an alignment, they guy had to decrank the bars to even get close. When I realized this, I asked him to stop, and align it as close as he could. Well it's better than it was, but it's not what it should be. Anyway, my question is, can buy a 1" BJS, and decrank my torsion bars quite a bit so that they can align my front end(camber) perfectly, or as close as possible.
Thanks
Thanks

Probably depends on what the cause of the alignment problem was. If you have some damage up front to where the adjusting cams are at their limits at stock height, then any sort of lift over that may push them past their limit. If the alignment issue was simply the guy not knowing what he was doing, then the spacers or torsion bar lift would be no different as far as alignment goes. Might try a different shop and see if you get the same results.

I got the bjs installed, but it was hell. My driver side shock bolt was stripped, and my cv boot tore, but other than that i love it. Any other things i schould do now? As far as suspension goes

well a panhard drop bracket is for the rear.....idk why you would want one if you didnt do anything to the rear???
manual hubs will prolong the life of your hubs and decrease the rotating mass under your truck..thus "in theory" you should net a bit more (very small amount) of pep and gas mileage increase lol

I wanna do the manual hubs, what all do I need to do that? Will some manual hubs off of an older axle swap right in? The rear has an lc coil swap, so its lifted approx 4 inches
