Superlift ballpoint relocation
 
Hi I'm new on here. I have a '99 blazer zr2. I turned the torsion bars up. Now people say only go 1-1.5 inches because bj and cv angles...what if I buy the 1.5" superlift upper control arms from summit...? They are designed to take the angles out of the ball joints. Is doing that a good idea since I've cranked up torsion bars??? Also doing the rest of front end for alignment with new cv shafts

The new upper control arms would help for the ball joints, although I personally don't have any experience with them. That won't help at all with CV axle angles though. You might be better off going with something like the Rough Country 2.5" lift which includes new upper control arms as well as a drop bracket for the front diff to address the CV axle angles.

Diff drop
 
Now I want to stick with the upper control arms from summit because ball joints bolt in. Should I just order the diff drop separate from the kit so the cv angles are better

Cant get the kit separately

Diff drop
 
Just called rough country and the diff drop kit is $55 with $6 shipping. So the trucks getting rough country diff drop, napa premium half shafts, superlift upper control arms, moog heavy duty upper ballpoints as long with lowers, and urethane lower control arm bushings...any thing I missed? All steering related components are great. Do I get a sway bar drop kit?

He sounded kind of hesitant to tell me over the phone.

Anyone know the max ride height (distance from center of wheel to fender lip) when doing a torsion bar crank with the RC kit?
