Ok, So I;m going to chime in here, as my Blazer has 160k on it, and I"m putting on 31x10.5 BFGs in a few months, and want to lift/crank the torsion bars as little as possible. I want the slightly bigger tires with the least amount of torsion bar crank, because of the diminished ride quality and extra wear on the front end. I'm wondering, can torsion bars be replaced, or would replacing them even help level out the ride? And/Or would it bring the Blazer back to stock height? (Build thread here: https://blazerforum.com/forum/builds...rebuild-62116/)

Well I just got out from under my truck again and for some reason when i measured my ride height again it gotten worse again. If I measured the front correctly I only have about 3.5-4 inches difference. I also measured my rear because after the initial adjustment to the front it looked like the rear was sagging.

Well I do remember that when I bought the truck the person I bought it from said they towed a large boat with it.

Im going to try to find a newer set (less miles) of torsion bars from a junk yard and replace my worn out ones.

Here is the question I have on the rear. Would it make more sense to buy new leaf packs for both sides or buy the helper springs. I know I can get a set of helper springs for 45 bucks off of ebay.
