Default RE: torsion bar

If youre using shackles in the back then yes. you could always go with a body lift kit from performance accessories (frame spacers).It would take more effort/money to do but it wont wear out your front end as much as cranking your t bar.

The other option is to get new torsion keys, that way you don't have to crank as much as your ride stays smoother.

Keys just relocate the point which the adjustment bolt hits. It does not correct anything with how "wound" the torsion bars are or any of the ride harshness as those things are only changed by moving parts around on the other end ($$$).
