Front end torsion, bump stops, no ball joints.

1994 p/u Rwd. So im doing zuk on back and im looking at the front end. there are no ball joints on Rwd drive trucks right? so is torsion bar my only option to bring up the front end? and if I torsion it seems like my 2" clearance between bump stocks in front wont be good. any ideas? haven't seen anyone dealing with this.

Whats your end goal? how high do you want to lift it and what size tires do you want to run?

im doing zuk mod to raise my back end cause my leafs are shot. and i just want to raise it like an inch above stock (maybe). was just looking about doing the front end too cause it seems all tight up front and was looking at BJ spacers to give me some more play. don't know if im gonna actually do it though. also need to do shocks so that might shore it up some. what is the stock height measurement and form where do i measure? that would be some helpful info. for back and front.

I did Toytech balljoint spacers and OME torsion bars on my sons 94 PU

used the 2 or 2. inch spacers, cant remember and with the OMEs, lifted the front quite a bit, when it settled it was about 3 inches over what it started at. with torsion bars you can dial some extra height or some limited lowering by cranking the torsion bar bolts up or down. Used a add a leaf in the back and it was pretty even overall

I would recommend doing new ball joints at the same time and the spacers, only makes sense. you will be right there

measure from ground to top of wheel well cut out. If i remember right the fronts are cut higher than the rears, I think the fronts are 3" higher

Ive read that from the ground to the bottom of the lower control arm bushing is supposed to be 10.5''-11''. I cannot 100% confirm this though but its all I have found.
