As everyone else says, as long as your suspension is in good shape, cranking the bars will do fine. Although your alignment will be off badly, and without aftermarket upper control arms it wont be back to factory.

Also with my t bars cranked I actually don't notice any major difference in my ride. In some ways I think it actually rides better.
what he said,but you need to remember,to much of an angle on your cv axles will kill them shortly. You get good at replacing them after you have gone through 20 sets doing this lol. I'm pro at it

That's why the majic number is 1.5 inches. Seems to be the given amount of crank all s-series can safely run without putting anything in a bind
