You definitely need to relax your front torsion bars. That will allow your front end to move a lot more when wheeling or posing

wouldn't that lower it? i don't know what kinda of lift it has on it. someone said they might have lifted it by cranking down the torsion bars.

Yes, relaxing the torsion bars would lower it. Which is why I suggested installing a set of ball joint spacers (less than $100 at 4crawler.com last time I looked), which would let you bring your torsion bars back towards stock. Better ride and more flex, DOOOO EEEEET!

Put the back tires up on that stump and see how the front flexes. If the T bars are cranked it won't flex good.

i dont think the t bars up front are to stiff seeing as the drive arm is flat and should be right at the bumps. maybe some low profile bumps
not saying bj spacers isnt better just point out that it doesnt look like the crank t bars is preventing that much if any flex

if you run bj spacers, you will gain some lift if you leave the t bar at stock location. this will flex very good and relaxing t bars more than stock is not needed

thanks for the info. ill probably still get the spacers.. the reason they thought it was cranked is because i bought the truck lifted and don't know what lifts it has on it..i know it has a body lift..but it looks like it has blocks under the leaf springs..so i really don't know.
