Hey guys, i've read up all the posts about 33's and i undertstand a 1" bl will allow 33's to fit on my 95. My question is can i get a satisfactory amount of lift from putting downey coils in the back and cranking my t-bars? fender trimming is also no problem. I'm just trying to save as much $ as possible cause im a broke ass student. Any info helps, Thanks

 

Don't crank the torsion bars.

Look at the front end of this pic. Aftermarket t-bars with a mild, as in around 1/2" of crank. Rear tire is completely flexed, front end is completely load. Notice how you can still see the top of the bumpstop?

 

i'm not understanding what your trying to say.

 

Adrian's just saying that if you crank the torsion bars, you are going to have a stiff front end (espeically without adding any additional weight up there), and it will make your front-end flex decrease.

 

He's saying that if you crank the T-bars you lose what little flex there was in the IFS. Under optimum conditions you should run out of flex when the A-arm hits the bumpstop. Usually this is not the case though. Flygenstein can you chime on this one too?

 

I mean that in the pic, you can see that the front is not running to the compression bumpstop meaning that not all of the paltry amount of travel is being used.

Do not crank the torsion bars is the end lesson. If you have two or three fats guys riding on your hood at all times, consider aftermarket bars and or mild cranking.
