newbie with a few more questions

[lordhowe]

After reading the posts and help from a few experts here within this forum i was able to do a 4crawler ball joint spacer and rear coil spacer. After some fender trimming i was am able to tuck 33x12.50 bfg mud terrains on a 3.75" offset rims.

everything is looking good but i have a few questions

1. i noticed the torsion bars for the front of the rig provides little to no articulation and makes for an awful offroad setup. What do people do without going to a solid axel swap to gain more articulation? I'm thinking about detaching the front sways but wasn't sure if that alone will make any big difference.

2. I'm going to mount a winch and bumper (building my own) and it's going to be roughly 150 pounds additional up front. would the current stock setup be okay under this amount of load or do i need re-alignment and readjust the torsion bars?

thank you very much for any input!

There are some aftermarket suspension systems available to get more lift, travel, articulation (some good, some not so).

You could re-adjust your t-bars or go to aftermarket ones to acccomodate the xtra weight of the winch/bumper.

Hey there, when i mentioned other people helping me out i really meant you! since you are the only one that was able to provide any feedback.

do you have any particular setups that you would recommend for better front end articulation? I'm trying to stay cheap

i will search about the torsion bars before asking you any obvious questions.

thanks again
