Default suspension????

hi guys. i have a 97 i cranked the torsion bars in the front and did shackels in the rear and fit 32in goodyear wranglers. i didnt think they would fit but they do and barely rub at all.. the truck runs down the road great. my issue is ther is no suspension articulation at all.


i have a lil dirt pile in the back yard about knee high or so drive up on it with one front tire n the rear tire comes off the groung. the front does not compress at all.... what can i do? put the bars back and relocate the control arms and axle??.. other than this i think the truck looks pretty good

longer shocks might help, but in the front there won't be much flex even with a 6 inch lift.





this is the most flex you will ever see with a tbar crank and shackles. I also had both my front and rear sway bars removed in this picture. I have 2 inch longer shocks, which give the rear a little more travel but the front not so much since the control arms only go down so far
