Thanks guys found what i need i think. my next question is how much of a ride difference will it make with the t-bars cranked up alittle bit, and will it put more stress on front end parts causing them to break eaiser. Jus wondering cause ill be putting this set up on my 94 daily driver.

if its your daily driver most people relax there t bars alittle bit and it will give you better ride quality than if you cranked them.

Crank the torsion bars hard, it will ride like crap, and puts a tougher angle on your cv joints, which could cause them to bind and/ or break. If you are trying to get that much lift out of it, time to think about a bracket lift. I got Spacers to level out the front end after the zuk mod, and ended up RELAXING the torsion bars about 3/8" and resulted in a softer, much nicer ride.

I then wrecked all that with E rated tires. LOL.

BTW, zuk mod and BJ spacers, you can fit 33's if you so choose, without a body lift. Not sure how big of tire you were trying to get in there.

Im only putting 32x12.50 AT's on it. My goal is just to lift it jus a bit to get rid of the stock look, cant stand the way it sits and looks now. Guess im gna go with 2" ball joint spacers in the front and blocks in the back and see how i like that.

I'm sure a lot of folks would recommend longer shackles, new rear springs, add a leafs or even a zuk mod before they would recommend rear blocks.

x2 on the longershocks.

I have aftermarket shocks that were on my trruck when I bought it stock. They seem to be long enough with my BJ spacers and my add a leafs. No problems yet. I have the WABFAB BJ spacers, they came with the dif drop kit (witch helps reduce to extreme angle and strain on your CV's) I'm still runnin' 31's since mine are only about 5 months old, I didn't touch the tortion bars at all and it's great. The only thing I'd recomend is gettin the 1 inch drop spacers for your sway bar if you wanna keep it (I just removed mine all together). All in all I'd say this is the best bang for your buck lift option out there good luck.

EDIT: 1 more thing GET AN ALIGNMENT!!!!! It's pretty outta wack when your done, also if you wanna good write up on the instal check this link out

hey i have a question..
i am going to use the 11" x 5" coils with an adjustable perch and a rubber riser '
(so plus 2 inches or so)
13" total spring/riser addition

& im gunna crank the torsion bars in the front for now
and maybe get 1.5" bj spacers

i am aiming for 1-2 inches above stock height..

i recently bought 4600 bilstein all around to install and now im wondering if i will have enough travel in the shock to accommodate the 1.5" - 2" of lift i want.

the other bilstein 5100 shocks call for 3-4+ inches.

am I safe with the 4600 bilsteins at 2" of lift?
