If you crank the torsion bars, you'll be replacing the ball joints again, only sooner. That puts stress on the suspension that it was not designed for.

well the pushbar should be mounted to the frame so i would think it will stay where its at. but im sure theres a way to move it up

I know that RCars2 has a Hunter brush guard and was able to change something or mount it differently. I would PM him and see what he did.

The westin push bars use nearly idential mounts to the hunters (if my understanding is correct), all you need to do is is when you put the lift bracket for the front bumper on, line it up with the lower support to the push bars. From here mark the holes that you need to drill and drill new holes to hold the lower support. From there use hardware from the kit and bolt it on.
