Ive done some reading about these and still have some questions. No, I havent e-mailed SDori ( they have some cool ideas) yet to ask but since the subject got brought up....

Im looking to enhance the suspension of my daily driver to "fire road" more stably. Put simply, I want more suspension travel WITHOUT any added lift. SDori speaks of 1.5 inch added travel... When they say travel, do they mean lift?

Im wondering if I could add the spacers (lifting it), unload my torsion bars (lowering it), and add some kick ask shocks and have a pretty cool country boy baja truck
Anyone have experience with this?

Thurlo, please excuse the interruption and if you wish I will move this post. Thanks buddy.

Travel and lift are different things, but both are suspension related.

 

[cometobanks]

Yes, thank you, i know that.... so do ball joint spacers give you both or just lift?

HEREs the answer! fromSDORI themself.

"These trucks use an independent front suspension (IFS) where a torsion bar spring is fastened to the upper control arm (UCA). The spacer is placed between the upper ball joint and upper control arm. This has the effect of increasing the suspension window of travel 1.5”. The amount if lift varies and is adjusted by the user. By adjusting the torsion bars the suspension can be set anywhere within the travel window.
Impacts on highway use: Since the vehicle now has more suspension travel, customers report and improvement in drive quality. For example, when the vehicle encounters a “pothole” or depression in the road, the wheel can travel down into and out of the depression maintaining better contact with the road. This lessens the feeling the truck is falling into deep depressions. The result of the front wheels remaining in more solid contact with the road during harsh bumps improves control and passenger comfort. SDORI ball joint spacers are therefore deemed suitable for highway and off road use."

Thurlo, Im getting some of these! Thanks SCrunner!
